The ____, with the district overseer, may appoint an assistant to serve as the Youth and Discipleship director for the district.

• A. District Youth Director
• B. National Youth Director
• C. Women's Ministries Director
• D. State Youth and Discipleship Director

Answer: (D)

This item tests the authority structure for appointing district leadership in the Church of God. The district overseer partners with a higher-level officer to fill district Youth and Discipleship roles, so the appointment comes from the state-level official who oversees these ministries. That makes the State Youth and Discipleship Director the correct choice, because this title denotes the state-level leader responsible for coordinating district ministries and authorizing assignments there. The other options don’t fit: a District Youth Director is a district role, not the appointing authority; a National Youth Director operates at the national level and wouldn’t directly appoint district positions; and a Women's Ministries Director is a different ministry area entirely.
