The ______________ provides leadership and guidance in the establishing of new churches.

• A. State Evangelism and Missions Director
• B. State Council
• C. State Overseer
• D. State Youth and Discipleship Director

Answer: (A)

Focusing on starting new congregations is the domain of evangelism and missions. The State Evangelism and Missions Director is the leader who provides guidance, strategy, and support for church-planting efforts within the state. This role coordinates outreach initiatives, equips and mentors church planters, and allocates resources to establish new churches, which is precisely what establishing new congregations requires. The other roles, while important for governance, oversight, or youth-focused programs, do not specifically center on initiating new church starts.
