The COG is a __________ body.

• A. Ecclesiastical
• B. Administrative
• C. Legislative
• D. Judicial

Answer: (D)

Think of church governance as having different bodies with specific roles. The Judicial body is the part that handles disputes, disciplinary matters, and the interpretation and application of church rules and constitution. That investigative and decision-making function is exactly what the Church of God is described as doing in this context, which is why it’s identified as a Judicial body.

The other options describe different functions: Ecclesiastical would refer to church-related matters in a broad sense, Administrative to day-to-day operations, and Legislative to making church laws. They don’t capture the adjudicative and disciplinary role that the CAMS framework assigns to the COG, which is why Judicial is the best fit.
