PCHE is not a church or a school.  The Board of Directors is not equivalent to a school board, nor is the President equivalent to the principal or pastor.  

The role of the board is organizing and planning events and taking action in the rare case of a serious safety concern. Beyond that, we are a co-operative full of many different beliefs, personalities and backgrounds.

In the event of a conflict between members, PCHE would like to encourage all of those involved to prayerfully, and with grace, consider reaching out to each other with accountability and consideration for others. This is the Biblical model of reconciliation laid out for us as Christian brothers and sisters.  

Please keep conflicts between yourself, the other party, and the Lord. Gossip, divisions, and factions have no place in this group as they do not promote its purpose and set an ungodly example for our students.  

If there comes a time when a member has a concern which genuinely presents a threat to our students/members, the following steps may be taken:

1) Except in cases of imminent threat or extreme emergency, we ask that members observe a 2 week “cooling off” period.  During this period, we encourage prayer, fasting, and personal reflection.

2) If the issue cannot be resolved and you believe it requires the attention of the group, you may fill out this Mediation Request form.

3) The board will consider the matter and may make further inquiries. After such time, they may decide that the matter is outside PCHE’s purview, or they may arrange a meeting with one or more of the parties involved. A minimum of two board members will be present for any conflict resolution meetings.
