Which body approves evangelistic associations or organizations within the Church of God?

• A. World Missions Board
• B. State Council
• C. International Executive Council
• D. International General Assembly

Answer: (C)

In the Church of God, the authority to approve evangelistic associations or organizations sits with the International Executive Council. This council operates as the church’s executive body between General Assemblies, turning the policies and direction set by the higher assembly into practical action. It reviews proposals for new evangelistic groups, ensures they align with church doctrine and governance, and grants official approval for their formation and affiliation. The World Missions Board tends to focus on mission strategy and field work, while the State Council handles regional or state-level matters, and the International General Assembly is the top governing body that sets broad policy. Between assemblies, however, the specific act of authorizing evangelistic organizations is handled by the International Executive Council, making it the correct choice.
