Who appoints the district overseer?

• A. State Overseer
• B. International General Assembly
• C. State Council
• D. Local Church Board

Answer: (A)

In Church of God governance, district leadership is chosen at the state level. The State Overseer, as the chief executive for the state, has the authority to appoint district overseers who supervise the churches within that state’s districts. This arrangement keeps district oversight aligned with state-wide policies and doctrinal standards established for the region.

The international level sets overall doctrine and international leadership, not district appointments. The State Council serves in a coordinating/advisory role within the state, but does not appoint district overseers. Local church boards manage matters at the local church level, such as calling a local pastor, and do not appoint district officers.
