Which state board is primarily concerned with music in worship and church life?

• A. State World Missions Board
• B. State Music Board
• C. State Youth and Discipleship Board
• D. State Board of Ministerial Development

Answer: (B)

The main idea being tested is which state-level board handles music within worship and church life. The State Music Board is the body that provides leadership for music across the state, guiding worship planning, approving or recommending repertoire, training choir directors and musicians, and developing musical resources used in churches. Its focus is to enhance congregational worship and support the music ministry integral to church life, rather than missions, youth programs, or ministerial development. The other boards address different areas—missions, youth and discipleship, and ministerial development—so they don’t center on music in worship.
