How long is the term of office for a state overseer?

The term of office for a state overseer is four years. This duration allows for effective leadership and continuity within the Church of God at the state level. During this time, the state overseer is responsible for providing oversight, guidance, and support to local congregations within their jurisdiction, facilitating communication from the national level to the local churches, and helping to manage resources and programs effectively.

The four-year term strikes a balance between stability and the need for fresh leadership, enabling overseers to implement their vision while also allowing for change and renewal in leadership as needed after the term concludes. This systematic period also aligns with the organizational structure and governance of the Church of God, which emphasizes consistency in leadership to foster growth and unity among the congregations.
