Who appoints the treasurer and who confirms the appointment?

• A. Pastor appoints; Council and/or body confirms
• B. Council appoints; Pastor confirms
• C. Pastor appoints; District Overseer confirms
• D. District Overseer appoints; Pastor confirms

Answer: (A)

In Church of God practice, officers like the treasurer are named by the pastor who leads the local congregation, but that nomination must be formally approved by the governing body to ensure accountability. The confirmation by the council and/or the appropriate church body provides checks and balances, giving the congregation trusted oversight over finances. This arrangement keeps pastoral leadership in the selection process while placing final authority in the collective governance structure, which helps maintain financial integrity and transparency.
