No church will implement a Christian day school without permission from whom?

• A. State Overseer
• B. Pastor
• C. District Overseer
• D. Conference

Answer: (A)

In Church of God governance, major ministries like a Christian day school require the blessing of the state-level leadership. The State Overseer is the official who oversees all churches and ministries within a state, ensuring alignment with doctrine, finances, safety, and coordination across the state’s congregations. Because of that broad authority, permission to implement a Christian day school must come from the State Overseer. A local pastor can lead the local church but cannot authorize a state-level initiative on his own; a District Overseer handles district matters, and the Conference provides general policy guidance, not the final state-wide approval. Therefore, the State Overseer is the appropriate source of permission.
