A church treasurer will be appointed by the ____ and confirmed by the Council and/or body.

• A. pastor
• B. congregation
• C. finance committee
• D. board of trustees

Answer: (A)

Financial stewardship in a church is guided by a governance structure where the pastor has the authority to appoint key officers, with confirmation by the Council or governing body. The treasurer handles the church’s finances and reports, so it makes sense for the pastoral leadership to select someone who shares the church’s spiritual and administrative direction. The council or body then confirms the appointment to provide accountability and checks and balances, ensuring the person appointed is trustworthy and capable of managing church funds. This arrangement keeps spiritual leadership connected to financial oversight while maintaining communal governance through that confirmation step.
