Which body, formed in 1929, is comprised of all ordained ministers and convens before the Assembly?

• A. Bishops Council
• B. General Council
• C. Ministers Council
• D. Elders Assembly

Answer: (A)

In Church of God governance, a key structure is the council that brings together the leadership of ordained ministers to guide affairs between general gatherings and to prep for the assembly. The body formed in 1929 that includes all ordained ministers and meets before the Assembly fits this role precisely. It serves as a coordinating body, handling ministerial appointments, discipline, and policy direction, presenting recommendations to the larger assembly. This pre-assembly convening purpose and the all-ministers composition distinguish it as the body described. Other councils may involve different groups or functions, but this one is defined by bringing together every ordained minister and meeting ahead of the Assembly to plan and advise.
