While you will see many dressed up for church in suits or dresses, we want you to know you are welcome to come as you are. The reason many will dress up for church is based on the concept that we should dress in our best before God on His special day. If your best is a pair of jeans and a t-shirt, then that is completely fine! We also encourage the Biblical principle of modesty.
