Sec. 6


FIRST SCREDULE


CONSTITUTION OF THE COOK ISLANDS CHRISTIAN CHURCH


(Revision of 1968)


1. THE FAITH OF THE CHURCH


The Bible reveals the facts of our faith, and is supported by Christian experience through the ages. We believe that God created the world and man, and that His purpose eternally is for men to live as His children; that He came into the world in Jesus Christ who lived and died and rose again for our salvation; and that He works still through the Holy Spirit so that all men may be brought into His Kingdom. We believe that men can find everlasting life only through faith, which is shown in repentance, and through the forgiveness and grace which God in His love offers to the world; and this new life in Christ means a continual obedience to the will of God. We believe that God calls His people together to form the Church, which lives to worship Him and proclaim His Gospel in word and deed until the end of all things when Christ will rule all men.


2. THE NAME


The name of this Church in the Cook Islands be the COOK ISLANDS CHRISTIAN CHURCH.


3. RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CONGREGATION COUNCIL FOR WORLD MISSION


The Church so named in composed of those various local Christian communities in the Cook Islands which stand in what is commonly known as the Reformed or Protestant traditions, and which were founded and established as a result of the labours of missionaries of the London Missionary Society (now the Congregational Council for World Mission) and of the Cook Islands Pastors, teachers and others who through many years have served in the name of Jesus Christ to make known the Gospel of His redeeming love and to build the community of his disciples. During the years since the Gospel was first preached in the Cook Islands a tradition of things done and accepted by all the churches has grown up. Part of that tradition is that the missionary of the L.M.S. now C.C.W.M. has authority over Pastors and Churches. The purpose of this constitution is to enable the Church to take responsibility for its own life and work. This transfer is bound to be a gradual process and depends on the growth and will of the Assembly. The missionary of the C.C.W.M. shall, therefore, continue to exercise authority over the appointment and discipline of pastors until the Assembly, with the agreement of the C.C.W.M., decides that the Church should assume this responsibility.


4. MEMBERSHIP


The Church receives as members all those who, having been baptised and instructed in the Christian faith, publicly profess their faith in Jesus Christ. The Church receives also those who transfer membership from any other Protestant Church (that is those churches in fellowship with the World Council of Churches). The Church believes that all members share equally in the gifts of the Gospel and in the responsibility of fulfilling God’s will in worship, in evangelism and in Christian living. Pastors and Deacons are equally members of the Church and their titles indicate the work they have been called to do. We believe that all members of the Body of Christ are thus in fact "a royal priesthood"


5. THE MINISTRY


The Church shall appoint to the ministry those who are called of God and who reveal the gifts and abilities needed for the leadership of His people.


A. Training


All candidates for the Ministry and, for entrance into Takamoa college shall be dealt with in the following way:


(a) They must be approved after the most careful consideration possible by their Church, and where applicable by the Island Church Council:


(b) They must pass an entrance examination set by their college and their entry into Takamoa must be approved by the principal:


(c) They must be approved by the Executive or Standing Committee at the end of the probationary period.


The authority of the Principal of Takamoa is final in the matters of college discipline. He shall make a full report of College life and work, including admissions and dismissals, at each meeting of the Standing and Executive Committees and the Assembly.


While every endeavour will be made to appoint students, who have satisfactorily completed their training, to pastorates, it may be necessary for them to return to their islands and wait some time for an appointment.


Students from other Theological Colleges may be admitted as Pastors if the Assembly approves.


B. Support


The Assembly is responsible for the payment of a regular stipend to Pastors who are appointed by the Assembly to serve in a Church. The local Church is responsible for the continual support of Pastors by prayer and fellowship, and by contributing to Assembly funds, and by gifts of food to the amount laid down by the Assembly.


C. Transfer


The Executive Committee and, in the case of emergencies, the Standing Committee are authorised to transfer Pastors from one Church to another. The normal term of service in one Church is four years. At the time of a general transfer of pastors the Executive Committee will prepare a list of the proposed changes. All churches and pastors will be informed of what is proposed. If Churches and pastors so wish they may make comments on the changes, showing in what way they consider the will of God could be better served. The Committee will consider the list of changes in the light of comments made, and may make amendments to the list. The decision of the committee will be final.


D. Retirement


The normal retiring age is 65. Pastors may serve after this age only at the invitation of the Assembly. The Assembly may retire Pastors at any time if it is considered that bad health or unfairness in other ways make this desirable. All pastors and churches will contribute to the Pastors' Pension Fund, as laid down by the Assembly in the Pastors' Pension Scheme.


6. THE LOCAL CHURCH


A. The Pastor


It is the aim of the Church that each congregation shall have a pastor who shall be ordained following training at Takamoa College or at any other Theological College recognised by the Assembly. The Pastor is recognised as the Shepherd of the flock, the teacher in spiritual things, and the Chairman of the Deacons' Meetings and Church Meetings. He is appointed by the Assembly, which pays his stipend; the local Church is responsible for his house, furnishings and the provision of food to the amount laid down by the Assembly. The Pastor is to care for the pastor's house and furnishings.


B. Assistant Pastor


If the Church so desires, an Assistant Pastor may be appointed by the Church Meeting from among the members or deacons. He will be qualified by his Christian life and by training under the pastor or at Takamoa College. He will act as Pastor in the absence of the Pastor of the Church. The appointment to be effective will be approved by the officers of the Assembly. An Assistant Pastor may be suspended by the Wish of the Church Meeting, if it believes that he is no longer fitted to act as a leader of Christ's people.


If a Church does not wish to choose an assistant pastor, then during the absence of the Pastor or during a vacancy one deacon will be chosen by the Church Meeting to act as Chairman. Such an appointment is unpaid and temporary and ceases with the return of the Pastor. The Chairman will care for the mission house and will arrange for the services of worship.


C. Deacons


Each local Church shall select by the Church Meeting not more than twelve deacons from among the members. They shall be chosen by ballot by the members of the Church. They shall be men and women of truly Christian life. They will hold office for three years but will be eligible for re-election if the Church so wishes. The deacons will hold regular meetings, not less than twelve times a year, with the Pastor as Chairman, and will elect from among the diaconate a Secretary to keep minutes and a Treasurer to keep Church accounts. The deacons are to assist the Pastor in the pastoral care of the Church and to carry out any duty given to them by the Church Meeting. A deacon may be suspended by the wish of the Church Meeting if it believes that he is no longer fitted to act as a leader of Christ's people.


If a deacon leaves his church and is absent for six months or more then the Church Meeting may accept this as resignation from the diaconate. The Church recognises the right of a deacon to be absent for health or other serious personal reasons.


Deacons who have proved themselves by over 25 years of faithful service may be elected to hold the office for life. Such life Deacons may continue to meet with the deacons.


D. Church Meeting


A meeting of all Church members under the Chairmanship of the Pastor will be held not less than four times a year. This meeting will hear reports from the Pastor, the Treasurer and from leaders of the Church organisations. This meeting makes decisions about the acceptance of new members, the election of deacons and other officers. It is an opportunity for all members to express their views on the work of the Church. It is the purpose of this meeting to seek the will of God in all Church affairs.


E. Sunday School


Each local Church will have a Sunday School for the training and Christian care of the children and young people. The Church Meeting will approve the appointment of teachers in the Sunday School, and they will meet regularly with the Pastor to plan the training to be given.


F. Youth Organisations


(a) The Boys' Brigade: Where there is a Boys' Brigade Company it shall be a part of the Church. The pastor shall be the Chaplain of the Company and he will exercise supervision over the spiritual training of the boys. He will be a member of the company committee together with two deacons elected by the diaconate, the company Captain and two officers elected by the officers. This committee shall deal with matters of discipline, the future development of the company and the relationship of the company with the church. Any dispute in the company or any discipline of an officer will be referred to the Battalion Presidents:


(b) The Girl Guides: The Church recognises the Girl Guide movement as being most suitable for its girls, and encourages all Churches to assist Guide companies in their work:


(c) Youth Clubs: The Church recommends that an activity in the form of a mixed youth club be encouraged to help its young people between the ages of 18 and 30.


G. Accounts


All Churches will keep strict accounts of all monies received and spent on behalf of the Church. These accounts will be audited annually by a person appointed by the Church Meeting. Church money will be kept in a banking account for the operation of which two signatures will be required. As an alternative to this it is permissible that the Church money be held by the C.I.C.C. Treasurer or the C.C.W.M. Treasurer.


H. Discipline of Members


The deacons' meeting has the responsibility of helping members if they fall into sin to return to a Christian way of life. The Deacons' Meeting has the authority to suspend a member for any length of time if all efforts at bringing about a change of heart have failed.


7. ISLAND CHURCH COUNCIL


In an island where there is more than one local church there shall be an Island Church Council representing all the local churches. The Council shall meet at least twice a year. The council shall consist of the Pastor of each Church, two deacons and one church member from each church elected by the Church Meeting, and retired pastors and officers of the Assembly and members of the Executive and Standing Committee residing in that island. Each Council shall elect annually its Chairman and Secretary.


The work of the Council is to encourage and plan ways in which the Churches of the island can work together for the deepening of the spiritual life and the preaching of the Gospel.


The Council may not discuss the affairs of one individual Church, unless that Church brings the matter forward. It will support decisions of the Assembly and may bring forward subjects for discussion at the Assembly. It will hear reports from the Churches of appointments to the diaconate, and if it desires may recommend that an appointment be re-considered by the Church Meeting concerned.


8. THE ASSEMBLY


So that the various congregations of the Cook Islands Christian Church may express more completely their union in worship and life, and so that they may gather greater unity and strength for the development of the Church and for the proclamation of the Gospel, the one central and governing body shall be the assembly of the C.I.C.C.


A. The Membership


The members of the Assembly shall be:


(a) Ex-Officio - Missionaries of the C.C.W.M. serving in the Cook Islands; the Pastor of each Church; the elected officers of the Assembly:

C. Committees of the Assembly


(a) The Executive Committee: It shall consist of Officers of the Assembly, two Assembly members from Rarotonga, one from Aitutaki and three from other outer islands, who shall be elected by the Assembly. The quorum shall be six. The Committee shall meet when called by the Secretary. The Executive Committee is to act on behalf of the Assembly between meetings of the Assembly and is to be responsible for carrying out decisions of the Assembly and will prepare business for the Assembly. This committee will arrange for the transfer of Pastors at the end of their pastoral term. See section 5(c):


(b) The Standing Committee: It shall consist of Officers of the Assembly together with one Assembly member from Rarotonga chosen by the Assembly from the Executive Committee. The Standing Committee shall deal with all emergency matters that may require attention in the intervals between meetings of the Executive and the Assembly. Such emergency matters shall include such pastoral appointments as may be made necessary by death, illness or retirement in the intervals between meetings of the Executive and the Assembly.


D. Meetings of the Assembly


Normally the Assembly will meet every two years. The place and date of meeting will be decided by the Assembly of the Executive Committee and notice given to the Churches one year before the meeting of the Assembly is to be held.


E. The Agenda


The Executive Committee shall prepare the agenda for the Assembly. This agenda shall include the presentation by the Treasurer of audited accounts and balance sheet of all Assembly financial affairs, but details of matters arising may be arranged by the Standing Committee. Individual churches and Island Church Councils may send in for the consideration of the Executive items for inclusion in the agenda. No other matters save those on the agenda shall be discussed by the Assembly except by the consent of two-thirds of the members present and voting.


F. Decisions of the Assembly


All major matters to be effective must be passed by two-thirds of the members present and voting. Decisions so reached shall be binding upon the Churches. The President shall decide whether a question is a major one or not.


G. Delegates Expenses


Although it is hoped to have the use of the "John Williams" at the time of the Assembly, it is the responsibility of the Churches to pay the expenses of their pastors and delegates attending Assembly or Executive meetings.


9. CHANGES IN THE CONSTITUTION


Amendments to this Constitution may be made or new sections proposed, but the amendments must be sent in writing to the Secretary one year before the Assembly. The Secretary shall give notice in writing to all the Churches of the proposed alterations or new sections.
