Does Church of God come to mind? Household of God? Family of God? Fellowship?
It's always astonished me that a church has a "board of directors." Huh? That's "company talk."
My local church is run by the parochial church council (PCC), elected by the congregation. The PCC also selects the minister in charge of the local church, in consultation with the congregation. The PCC is independent of the minister but they work closely together.
The wider church is run by bishops and archbishops, and by synod, to which the minister (and all clergy) are subject. The recognised head of the church is Jesus Christ.
There are no "directors." No "president." No "chairman."

You and Nathan_Jr make some really good points. The funny thing with the way international is they seem to relish their corporate status. It's like it gives them some kind of real world legitimacy or something...

Yes of course. Immediately you think of Jesus is the President, the board has to be the 12 apostles.
Wait who is playing Judas and Peter?
And is Headquarters Jerusalem? Or Paul’s prison cell? Which one of these 2 does New Knoxville represent? How about the multi million log home campus? The rest center or something? Is that Phillips house? Or the church at Ephesus?
if Judas was the treasurer, does this reflect badly on the position now?
Dang when trying to fit this peg into the hole it seems to need to be shaved down a bit.
Maybe it would fit better if you considered it an org structure for building a Tower of Babel.
