Any accusations brought forth against any HRMM member by another member shall be handled as the word of God demands using biblical church discipline exampled in Matthew Chapter 18. No accusations before the Founder, President, and/or Board will be heard without the accuser having gone first to the accused. *See next section. However, if an accusation has come from a non-member, the accusation will be heard in the presence of the accused with the board acting as his/her advocate and if there is any behavior proved as being unbefitting for a HRMM member, the order of discipline will be followed in a private meeting of the board, the accused and a member of his/her support network.

First, unless a crime has been committed, the accuser (HRMM member) must not come to any member other than the one whom has allegedly committed an offense, in order that there is a private humble, loving and prayerful confrontation about the issue. If the matter is not resolved and the accused is not in agreement with his/her accuser, then the accuser along with at least two other members must go to the accused once again. The accuser may prayerfully select two members in good standing of HRMM whether board members or not.

If at that time the issue is still not resolved, then the accused has a right to hear the accusations of his/her accuser in a closed meeting with a member of their support network (for example their pastor or family member), the Founder, President and Board present. At that time the accuser will speak, then the accused, and then questions will be asked by the Founder, President, and Board. After prayer and discussion the Founder, President, and Board will meet outside the presence of the accused and the accuser in order to discuss and come to a vote on whether there needs to be any disciplinary action, what that disciplinary action would entail, or an apology demanded from the accuser.

Aside from committing a crime, NO-ONE has the right to demand your patch, although you may be asked by the President or Founder to “closet” it for a specified amount of time while issues of rebellion/disobedience are worked through with the loving admonition, counsel and discipline of the Founder, President, the board and your pastor. Please note: Absolutely no confrontation pertaining to any matter of discipline is ever to be handled through email, but instead a phone call or face to face meeting. Email is profitable to provide information, answer questions, prayer alerts, etc….Email is “not” profitable to work out disagreements or disciplinary issues.

Because of any accusations brought forward, if the accused is found to be lacking in the areas discussed depending upon the offense it will be prayerfully discussed amongst the board, the President, and the Founder and an action determined and relegated. Anything of this nature would need to be a serious offense such as unlawful divorce, drunkenness, drug involvement, sexual immorality, violence, lying, stealing, etc…
