Which group shall constitute the International Executive Council along with the general overseer, his assistants, and the secretary-general?

• A. Laity
• B. Pastors
• C. Council of Eighteen
• D. Ordained Ministers

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is understanding the formal leadership structure of the church. The International Executive Council is composed not of random groups like laity or a single ministry subset, but of a designated governing body that joins the General Overseer, his assistants, and the Secretary-General. This body is called the Council of Eighteen, and it provides collective counsel and governance within the international leadership. The other groups—laity, pastors, or ordained ministers—are important constituencies, but they are not the named collective body that constitutes the International Executive Council alongside the top officers.
