Which office is described as being accountable for modeling Christlike attributes in lifestyle and administration?

• A. State Overseer
• B. District Overseer
• C. International Council
• D. Assistant Director

Answer: (A)

In Church of God governance, the office tasked with setting the example in both personal character and how the church is run within the state is the State Overseer. This role carries accountability for modeling Christlike attributes in daily life—character such as integrity, humility, and holiness—and for guiding the administration of the state—sound stewardship, wise governance, and ethical leadership. The State Overseer supervises pastors, oversees state programs, and represents the state's work to the wider church, so others look to this position as the tangible example to imitate. A district overseer serves within a district, focusing on that region's oversight, but the emphasis on life plus management at the state level points to the State Overseer as the primary exemplar. The international council operates at a broader governance level and does not function as the single-state personal and administrative model. The assistant director is a supporting role, assisting leadership rather than embodying the central example of Christlike living and governance.
