Next, the Secretary of the Executive Board reads in full the text containing the new
statutes, so that the assembly becomes fully aware and is put to a vote in the terms
indicated in the current statutes.
Being ________ hours, the President takes the address of the Convention and expresses
the reason for this which, as indicated in the summons notices, is to proceed with the
reform of the statutes of the PENTECOSTAL CHRISTIAN METHODIST CHURCH –
hereinafter and interchangeably “the CHURCH ” as agreed at the _____________ Annual
Convention held in the city of ___________ on the ___________ days of ________ of the
year ____________________. The Presiding Pastor addresses the assembly and
expresses: “The Executive Board that I am honored to represent has placed in your hands
a new Statute so that, in accordance with our system of congregational government, we
can decide whether to approve it or not. For this reason I address this assembly with the
Word of God before me, so that when deciding, His Word puts the necessary light and
the Holy Spirit works in our minds and hearts. In the letter we sent to pastors, churches
and groups we reminded the Evangelical people of the reasons taken into account to
undertake this arduous initiative: it is necessary to fill some gaps in the statutes currently
in force, for example: One) Give legal existence to the Board of Ecclesiastics which,
although it really functioned, had not been established or formally constituted. The text
we propose establishes the functions and powers of this council that comprises the group
of ecclesiastics of the Pentecostal Christian Methodist Church. Two) Establish a system of
ecclesial discipline, the Disciplinary Council , with the necessary authority and
competence, to which we must all submit, without exception. Three) Formalize the
agreement of the Seventy-Sixth Convention in the sense of establishing a domestic
administration system that allows, through the operational departments, the incorporation
of lay talents in order to support the Executive Board in that area, so that Board members
can prioritize the spiritual aspects of the ministry; In this way we can also improve and
advance technologically for the administration of material resources and communications.
Four) Leave the fundamental principles that govern and identify us established in the
clearest way possible, so that they can remain over time. This is increasingly necessary as
the gospel becomes increasingly “light” and the church of Christ is dragged by pastors
and leaders increasingly towards humanism, while moving further and further away from
Christianity. We want future generations, if the Lord does not come first, not to forget the
true purpose of the gospel and the church of Christ. Five) Protect the integrity of the
pastoral ministry by establishing norms that make it more expensive, that is, that the
candidates become aware of the seriousness and discipline that it implies and the
enormous responsibility that it entails. Six) Strengthen the identity and unity of our
Church by establishing - although implicitly - the principle that the Church is prior and
superior to us as individuals. We belong to the Church, not the Church to us; because the
Universal Church – and with it the local churches like ours – belongs to Christ, our King
and Savior. He builds it (establishes it), He rules it, He judges it according to His holy
precepts. We must submit to Him.

The new Statute that we submit to scrutiny today is the result of observing our reality as
a church, in terms of the domestic and spiritual aspects. In this work, our system of

2
congregational government has been put into practice, as rarely before, since all those
who have wanted to contribute with some observation or suggestion have had the
opportunity to participate and collaborate. In fact, on ___________ the project of
statutory reforms was sent to pastors, churches and groups and they were given until
__________________ to respond, so that everyone had the opportunity to read the full
text and could make observations, suggestions, contributions, comments and/or criticism
that they consider relevant. The results of this consultation - between churches and
pastors - were received with humility and gratitude, and many of these observations were
incorporated into the text in this latest version. We also consider it necessary to assure
you that we are not motivated by any personal interest in any of the proposed
stipulations, we are only moved by the duty to ensure the future of our beloved Church
and a sincere fear of the Lord of the Church, who has placed us in these charges to watch
over His Grace.
Finally, we urge churches and groups, boards, delegates and pastors to continue praying
in our hearts until the moment of the vote, with an eye toward the greater good of our
beloved Pentecostal Christian Methodist Church, according to what Ephesians 4:3-6 tells
us: “Eager to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. One body, and one Spirit;
as you are also called to the same hope of your calling: One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
One God and Father of all, who is over all things, and through all things, and in you all.” ;
Once the words of the Pastor President have concluded, a period of discussion of the
proposed text begins, giving rise to opinions and suggestions.
Being _______ hours, the Notary Public Mr. ____________________________ enters the
session who, in his capacity as competent minister of faith, and in an annexed document
that forms an integral part of this instrument, proceeds to verify the number of attendees
who amount to ______, certifying their identities and signatures, for the purposes of
certifying the fact of the vote and the quorum required for the reform of the statutes.
Once the new text has been voted on, it is approved unanimously by the members
present, consequently approving the new statutes that will govern the Alliance Evangelical
Church, and which are of the following tenor:
