Each local church is to provide the treasurer with a copy of the ____ of the International General Assembly.

• A. Minutes
• B. Bylaws
• C. Constitution
• D. Acts

Answer: (A)

The key idea here is that official meeting records serve as the authoritative source for what a governing body decided and what actions are to be carried out. The minutes of the International General Assembly capture motions, votes, and directives, including those that affect finances and how funds should be used. Providing a local church treasurer with a copy ensures the local church can align its budget, reporting, and financial practices with the decisions of the assembly, maintaining accountability and proper implementation of fiscal policy.

Bylaws, the constitution, and Acts represent governance rules, foundational documents, or a broader record of actions, but they do not replace the formal, action-oriented record of what was decided at the assembly. The minutes specifically reflect the actual proceedings and decisions that have financial implications, which is why they are the document shared with the treasurer.
