A qualification of a ___________ is his ability to oversee people as well as programs.

• A. Pastor
• B. District Overseer
• C. Bishop
• D. State Overseer

Answer: (D)

The ability to oversee people as well as programs points to a leadership role that spans both personnel and operations across a broad area. In this tradition, the State Overseer is the one who embodies that dual responsibility: mentoring and supervising ministers, coordinating multiple districts and churches, and ensuring programs—from conferences to training and outreach—run smoothly and align with doctrine and policy. This goes beyond shepherding a single congregation (pastor) or managing a district’s churches (district overseer) and differs from other senior titles whose scope is not statewide. So the qualification described fits the State Overseer, who must oversee both people and programs at the state level.
