The chairman of the local church Women's Ministries is the ____.

• A. deacon
• B. pastor
• C. board member
• D. treasurer

Answer: (B)

In church governance, the pastor is charged with spiritual leadership and oversight of all church ministries, including auxiliary groups like Women’s Ministries. That makes the pastor the natural chairman, because this role requires guiding activities, aligning them with doctrinal standards, and coordinating them with the church’s overall mission. The other roles serve different functions: a deacon assists in service and ministry work, a board member participates in church governance, and a treasurer manages finances. They support the church’s operation but do not normally preside over a specific ministry as its chair. Therefore, the chairman of the local church Women’s Ministries is the pastor.
