The state overseer appoints ____________ when necessary.

• A. District Overseers Only
• B. District Overseers and Pastors
• C. District Overseers, Pastors, and Local Church Officers
• D. Local Church Officers Only

Answer: (C)

The state overseer has the authority to appoint leaders across the leadership structure when needed: district overseers, pastors, and local church officers. This broad scope ensures there is capable guidance at every level—district overseers to oversee groups of churches, pastors to lead individual congregations, and local church officers who handle the governance and support roles within each church. Appointing all three when necessary keeps ministries aligned, ensures continuity during vacancies or reorganizations, and maintains proper spiritual oversight and administrative functioning across the state. Limiting appointments to any single group would leave gaps in leadership and disrupt shepherding, governance, and church operations.
