Our Church’s Mission in Aotearoa New Zealand is to reflect and proclaim the transforming love of God as revealed in Jesus Christ and declared in the Scriptures. We are empowered by the Holy Spirit to serve God in the world. The Declaration of Independence of New Zealand was the first formal agreement that declared the sovereign authority and leadership of the Confederation of Tribes of New Zealand. The purpose being to affirm the authority of tangata whenua and to establish an emergent bicultural nation. The Treaty of Waitangi is the covenant establishing our nation on the basis of a power-sharing relationship and will guide how we undertake mission.

Ko te pūtake ā ō tātou Hāhi Weteriana i Aotearoa nei, he whakakite atu, he kauwhau hoki i te aroha whakatahuri o te Atua, he mea whakaatu mai i roto i a Ihu Karaiti, me ngā Karaipiture. Ko te Wairua Tapu e whakakaha ana i ā tātou kia tū māia ai hei tuari mā te Atua i roto i te ao. He Whakaputanga o te Rangatiratanga o Nu Tireni te whakaritenga tuatahi kua whakamanatia e te Wakaminenga o ngā hapu o Nu Tireni. Ko te tikanga kia whakakahangia e te rangatiratanga o ngā tangata whenua, ā ka aranga ai i te iwi kākanorua. Otirā, ko Te Tiriti o Waitangi te kawenata e whakaōrite ana i tā tātou noho hei tangata whenua, hei tauiwi hoki, ki tēnei whenua. Mā tēnei Tiriti tātou e arahi i roto i ngā whakariterite o tēnei whakahau, tono hoki, ki roto ki te ao.
