In the 6th Assembly, it was decided that "the propriety of placing an overseer over each state now represented" was scriptural (2 Corinthians 11:28; 3 John 9, 10; Galatians 2:7). Then, in the 1913 Assembly, the Bible plan of appointing the Overseers was put into place. Since then this office has evolved into an administrative responsibility of great importance to the welfare of the Church.
Each Overseer is to have the oversight of his state, nation or territory, and together with the General Overseer, forms the Presbytery in his respective area.
