Who appoints the district overseer?

• A. Local Church Board
• B. State Overseer
• C. International General Assembly
• D. International Executive Council

Answer: (B)

In this church governance structure, the authority to appoint a district overseer rests with the State Overseer. The state level has direct supervision over district leadership, ensuring consistency of doctrine, discipline, and mission across all churches within the state. The district overseer functions as the link between the state leadership and the local churches in the district, so it makes sense that the state leader is the one who appoints and can, if needed, replace that position.

Local Church Boards manage matters at the individual church level and do not appoint district-wide leadership. The International General Assembly and the International Executive Council operate at the global level, setting overall policy and direction, but they do not typically handle day-to-day district appointments.
