No conference will be held in a district except under the direction of the _____.

• A. District Overseer
• B. Local Elder
• C. Church Board
• D. Conference Supervisor

Answer: (A)

In Church of God polity, district-level events and conferences are under the authority of the District Overseer. This role carries the responsibility to oversee and authorize what happens within the district, ensuring that gatherings align with doctrine, governance, and order. The District Overseer represents the district in coordinating ministers, speakers, and delegates, and provides spiritual and administrative leadership for all churches in that area.

The Local Elder operates at the level of the local church rather than the district, the Church Board governs the local congregation, and a Conference Supervisor is not a standard role in this system. Because district conferences require district-wide oversight, the District Overseer is the appropriate directing authority.
