So, the clothes we wear need to be considered intentionally and with care. 1 Samuel 16:7 says “..People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” To honor God's Word, we acknowledge that although God looks at the heart, people still look on the outward appearance; we should aim to dress with excellence and modesty. General Dress Code: A modest & dressy (not sloppy), culturally relevant style is key. No overly tight clothing. Women: no short skirts or short dresses. + No sleeveless tops (without a covering). + No revealing clothing (i.e., see-thru material without an undershirt). + Proper footwear: polished shoes ar dress running shoes. ‘Sunday Morning Attire: + Men: Nice shirt & pants: optional jackets, sweaters & vests. + Ladies: Blouse & pants, skirt or dress (knee-length). No pants that are tight all the way to the ankle unless you wear a long top that goes mid-thigh. No gaucho or cropped pants of any kind. + All: Nice dark dress jeans are also acceptable. Old & baggy jeans are not acceptable. No hats. + Colors: Stick to neutral tones: black & all grey tones, browns, light/dark blue, dark purple, white and off-white. No loud prints.
