Oneroa CICC Church
Oneroa CICC
The white church in the main village of Oneroa. Its Sunday choir offers a good chance to learn about islanders' faith and daily life.
The Oneroa Cook Islands Christian Church stands in the centre of Oneroa, the main village on the west coast, and is the island's largest congregation. Its simple, dignified coral-limestone building has white walls and a red roof. At the 10 a.m. Sunday service the whole village turns out in their finest clothes. Men and women sing hymns in separate parts, and after the service visitors are sometimes invited to share tea and snacks. Dress modestly, arrive on time, and bring food with you, since shops across the island close on Sundays.
