Which of the following best describes the official designation of the body that convenes every two years?

• A. General Assembly
• B. Executive Council
• C. Board of Trustees
• D. Council of Elders

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is that the General Assembly is the formal, representative gathering designated to meet on a two-year cycle and make the denomination’s major policy and direction decisions. This body is the official designation for the biennial assembly that brings together delegates to elect leaders, approve budgets, and set doctrinal or organizational policy.

Between assemblies, the Executive Council typically handles governance and implementation of decisions, while the Board of Trustees focuses on property and financial stewardship, and the Council of Elders provides leadership oversight. Those groups are real and important, but they do not occupy the same formal role as the biennial General Assembly, which serves as the primary legislative and policy-making body.
