The distribution of tithes sent to the International Offices is the responsibility of which of the following?

• A. Secretary General
• B. World Missions Board
• C. General Overseer and the International Executive Council
• D. International Executive Committee

Answer: (C)

In Church of God polity, distributing funds received at the International Offices is a responsibility anchored in the church’s leadership. The General Overseer, working with the International Executive Council, holds the authority to supervise and authorize how tithes are allocated to international ministries, missions, and administrative needs. This pairing reflects the trust placed in the top leadership to steward financial resources and ensure they are used for approved purposes across the international church.

The Secretary General handles administrative tasks and records, not the distribution decisions. The World Missions Board focuses on mission planning and program implementation, but the actual allocation of the tithes through the International Offices rests with the General Overseer and the International Executive Council. The International Executive Committee is part of the governance framework, but the defined responsibility described points to the General Overseer together with the International Executive Council.
