Who approves the appointment of the State Board of Ministerial Development?

• A. State Council
• B. State Overseer
• C. District Overseer
• D. State World Missions Board

Answer: (A)

The key idea is that state-level governance and credential decisions are handled by the State Council. In the Church of God polity, the State Council serves as the authoritative body for approving appointments to the State Board of Ministerial Development, providing a collective, accountable oversight of ministerial standards and development within the state. The State Overseer leads state operations but does not unilaterally authorize the board; the District Overseer works at the local district level and doesn’t have authority over state-wide boards; the State World Missions Board focuses on mission-related matters rather than approving ministerial development boards. So the approval authority rests with the State Council.
