At the second General Assembly, the Assembly instituted a new order of ministry. What was it called?

• A. Evangelist
• B. Elder
• C. Deacon
• D. Bishop

Answer: (A)

The question centers on how the Church of God formalized ministry to support outreach beyond a single congregation. At the second General Assembly, they created an official order specifically for itinerant preaching and revival work to establish churches and spread the gospel beyond one local body. That role was named Evangelist, reflecting its purpose as a traveling minister who focuses on preaching, revival, and church-planting across gatherings.

This fits better than the other options because elders and deacons are typically tied to local church governance and service, while a bishop would imply a higher level of hierarchical oversight not created at that moment. The Evangelist designation gave the movement a distinct, portable ministry for evangelistic expansion.
