Health Information

The following information is requested to assist M.A.E.C. Minister(s) in safeguarding the well-being of the participant during the event. Please list any relevant health conditions, including but not limited to allergies, disabilities, diabetes, asthma, or medications currently required.

Behavior Agreement

The M.A.E.C. Code of Conduct outlined below is in effect for all activities involving Medhane-Alem Evangelical Church. It applies to all participants in M.A.E.C. activities, with participants defined as all registered youth and all other individuals who take part and/or attend M.A.E.C. events.

Participants who fail to adhere to the M.A.E.C. Code of Conduct may be subject to a range of disciplinary actions. Immediate corrective action will be taken to ensure the safety and welfare of all participants at the event. Additional disciplinary actions may be taken upon further investigation of the infraction or incident.

If an individual continually disrupts the group or engages in illegal behavior, he or she will be given an opportunity to discuss the problem with the M.A.E.C. Minister(s) before more drastic action is taken. If, after discussion, the behavior continues, or in the opinion of the M.A.E.C. Minister(s) it would be detrimental for the individual to continue with the group, he or she will be sent home at the participant’s expense.
