The _____ is elected by the ministers of the state.

• A. State Council
• B. State World Missions Board
• C. State Youth and Discipleship Board
• D. State Board of Ministerial Development

Answer: (C)

In this polity, leadership over a specific ministry area is placed in the hands of ministers who serve the state, ensuring those guiding the work are closely tied to pastoral input and oversight. The State Youth and Discipleship Board is the group charged with coordinating youth ministries, discipleship pathways, and related leadership development across the state. Because its purpose directly involves shepherding the youth and shaping discipleship efforts, it makes sense for the ministers of the state to elect this board, ensuring alignment with ministerial priorities and accountability to the pastoral leadership.

Other bodies serve different purposes and are selected or appointed through different processes, so they don’t fit the described mechanism as precisely.
