Who was elected as the second general overseer in the Church of God in 1923?

• A. G.T. Haywood
• B. Rex Perry
• C. F.J. Lee
• D. E. K. Barr

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is how leadership is chosen in the Church of God. The general overseer is the denomination’s top executive and spiritual leader, elected by delegates at the General Assembly to govern doctrine, missions, and church-wide affairs. In 1923, F. J. Lee was chosen to be the second person to hold that office, following the founding era of the overseer and setting a precedent for electing a national leader through the assembly’s vote. His election helped solidify the church’s growing organizational structure and its centralized leadership approach as it expanded beyond local churches. Other names listed served in different periods of the church’s history, not as the second general overseer elected in 1923.
