General Council membership composition

General Council membership composition

• A. It consists of ordained and licensed ministers.
• B. It consists of all ordained and licensed ministers holding a current fellowship certificate and churches holding a Certificate of Affiliation issued by the General Council of the AG.
• C. It consists of lay members from the churches.
• D. It consists of regional offices.

Answer: (B)

General Council membership brings together two connected groups: credentialed ministers and churches that are officially affiliated. It includes ordained and licensed ministers who hold a current fellowship certificate, showing they are authorized and in good standing to minister within the Assemblies of God. It also includes churches that hold a Certificate of Affiliation issued by the General Council, indicating the church is officially connected to and recognized by the Council. This dual focus ensures the Council represents both individual pastoral leadership and the congregations they serve. The other options leave out either the ministerial credentialing or the church affiliation, or describe administrative offices rather than membership.
