Which three standing boards were created in 1926?

• A. Board of Education, Missions Board, and Publishing Committee
• B. Missions Board, Board of Education, and the Publishing Committee
• C. Missions Board, Education Board, and Publishing Board
• D. Missions Board, Board of Education, and Printing Committee

Answer: (B)

The essential idea is how the church structured its permanent governance to cover the key areas of ministry: missions, education, and publishing. In 1926 the church established three standing boards to oversee these core functions. The Missions Board leads and coordinates missionary work and evangelistic outreach; the Board of Education directs religious education, curriculum, and programs like Sunday School; and the Publishing Committee handles church publications, literature, and communications that spread doctrine and information.

This trio matches the historical record for that year, reflecting a deliberate focus on sending the gospel, educating believers, and communicating the church’s message. The other options mix different names (Board versus Committee with similar tasks) or introduce a different body (such as a Printing or Publishing Board) that isn’t the trio established in that specific reform.
