State and provincial overseers are appointed by the __________.

• A. General Assembly
• B. Mission Board
• C. International Executive Committee
• D. Local church board

Answer: (C)

The authority to appoint state and provincial overseers rests with the International Executive Committee because this body holds the international governance responsibility for designating regional leadership across multiple jurisdictions. It ensures unity and consistent policy across states and provinces. A local church board governs only the local congregation, and a Mission Board handles mission-focused work rather than formal regional appointments. The General Assembly may set broad policy or affirm appointments, but the actual appointment power for regional overseers belongs to the International Executive Committee.
