Each state or region in the United States is asked and empowered to have a State World Missions Board. In general, this board is to implement and/or supervise (under the direction of the administrative bishop) the programs promoted by the World Missions Department. Specifically, duties of the board include:

• Supervising the local World Missions representative in each local church (records, communication, assistance, etc.).
• Setting up exhibits at state meetings (i.e., camp meetings, ministers' meeting, prayer conferences, etc.).
• Assisting in the preparation and promotion of state and regional missions seminars and conferences.
• Promoting special events such as World Missions Heritage Sunday, YWEA, World Day of Prayer, and Christ’s Birthday Offering.
• Assisting in the scheduling of deputation activities by representatives of the World Missions Department when requested by the state administrative bishop. The field representative from World Missions serves as a liaison to the board to assist in projecting goals, making plans and scheduling World Missions personnel in the state.

The State World Missions Board is to consist of not less than three and not more than five members and may be made up of lay members or ministers.

The chairman of the board serves as the state representative of World Missions and is appointed biennially by the state administrative bishop.
