Who has the authority to appoint an assistant to the Youth and Discipleship director for a district?

The authority to appoint an assistant to the Youth and Discipleship director for a district rests with the State Youth and Discipleship Director. This role involves direct oversight and management of youth and discipleship efforts within the district, ensuring that the ministry aligns with the Church's goals and objectives.

The State Youth and Discipleship Director is typically responsible for identifying individuals who possess the necessary skills and vision to effectively support the work of the Youth and Discipleship department. By appointing an assistant, the director ensures that there is adequate leadership and support, particularly in engaging and mentoring young people within the church community.

This position is crucial for fostering growth in the youth ministry, as assistants often take on various tasks and responsibilities to relieve some of the burdens from the director, creating a more structured and effective outreach.

Other roles such as the State Overseer, District Overseer, and the International Council have different responsibilities and levels of authority, often focusing on broader governance, support, and other aspects of church leadership rather than the specific administrative tasks of the Youth and Discipleship department at the state or district level.
