Which two ministerial leadership offices are named?

• A. Elders; Trustees
• B. Bishops; Deacons
• C. Pastors; Deacons
• D. Bishops; Elders

Answer: (B)

In this framework, two ministerial leadership offices are specifically recognized and named: bishops and deacons. A bishop is understood as the overseer with spiritual governance and pastoral oversight over churches or regions, providing leadership and doctrinal shepherding. A deacon is ordained to assist with service-oriented duties, including practical administration, mercy work, and supporting the congregation and its leaders.

Other pairs mix roles that aren’t identified together as the formal ministerial leadership offices in this context. Elders and trustees, for instance, involve governance or lay leadership in different senses, but trustees are not ordained ministers, and elders aren’t paired as the two formal ordained offices in this scheme. Pastors and deacons combine two active service/leadership roles, but the naming convention here emphasizes bishop alongside deacon as the recognized pair of ordained ministerial offices.

So, the two ministerial leadership offices named are bishops and deacons.
