What must a church obtain permission from the state overseer before implementing?

A church must obtain permission from the state overseer before implementing a Christian Day School due to the regulatory and legal requirements associated with establishing an educational institution. Setting up a Christian Day School involves various considerations, including curriculum approval, safety standards, staff qualifications, and compliance with state education laws.

The state overseer plays a crucial role in ensuring that these institutions align with both the Church of God’s mission and the state’s regulations, thereby maintaining quality and oversight. Other options, such as a Community Outreach Program, Youth Ministry, and Worship Service Schedule, typically don't require such formal approval since they generally fall within the church's normal operational activities and are less regulated by state educational guidelines.
