At the General Assembly in 1926, which trio of standing boards was created?

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

Answer: (C)

In 1926 the General Assembly organized its governance around three standing boards to oversee core ministries: missions, education, and publishing. This formal setup gave ongoing responsibility to durable bodies that could carry out long-term work beyond individual assemblies. The trio created was Missions Board to direct missionary outreach, Board of Education to oversee education initiatives and ministerial training, and Publishing Committee to handle publishing and distribution of church literature. The other phrasing in the choices — using Publishing Office or Education Board instead of Publishing Committee, or using Education Board instead of Board of Education — doesn’t match the official design recorded for that year, so the correct trio is Missions Board, Board of Education, and Publishing Committee.
