🧑‍🤝‍🧑 / 🏡 Since I brought up eating and dress codes...do you have one for yourself when it comes to church?

[TerryP]

Are you the "gotta wear a tie." Or a consistent "Sunday go to meetin's" thing?

OR, as I prefer...doesn't matter one bit. Put your suit and tie on if you wish ... stop by the morning service on Sunday on your way to the beach.

It really doesn't matter to me, in the least.

Thoughts? Or, are you just a sinful reprobate? (I know, it's a Purl of a chance to call someone out...but, don't want to Jam up anyone.)

No suit and tie except fo maybe a funeral. Church apparel, on Sunday morning, will be dress pants and a shirt with a collar. Socks optional unless it's winter.
Sunday evening much more casual. Blue jeans, sweat shirt in the cooler weather or tee shirt. Socks, same as above.

Does everyone dress "business casual," like this?

- Different subject ... didn't really think there were that many Sunday night services anymore. Over the last 25 years I've attended three (the last more than one campus) and the first (started '96 or so) have had home groups.

I'm a 29th year teacher; I still wear a tie to work almost every day.

No. Very few in fact. I teach the adult class and ‘dress up’ for some reason but it’s not required.

We would be just as well to dismiss our Evening services, and I’m in favor of it. Our morning service runs probably 40 to 50 on a good Sunday. 10 to 12 on any evening service. We don’t have a mid week service.

That puts it in a different context. A visiting family, first impressions, and all.

I don't wear a suit at all. Our church is more casual. Now funeral it kind of a hit and miss here. I had a cousin that pass away a few months ago. Most of her kids were bare foot during the viewing at the funeral home. Now my brother was more casual that dress up type.

A funeral is one place where I wear a suit. I went to the funeral of a friend's dad one time. There was a girl there that wore really short cutoff shorts, flip-flops, and a baggy t-shirt that was barely hanging on. And it was the type of girl that you did NOT want to see wearing something like that.

A job interview is another place where I'll wear a suit. I don't care what the job is. And I know it's said to dress 1 level above the job attire. But I've always worn a suit to any interview I've even been to. I wore one when I was interviewing for another position in a company I already worked for. I even wore one where the job was driving a forklift in a warehouse.

I don't like wearing suits. And I hate having to put on a tie. But for those 2 situations, I deal with it.

Decorum starts at home.. that's where it's dying the most.. most families don't even sit at the dinner table very much anymore.. they sit and watch tv or play with their phones, during meals.. and they dress like something the cat drug up,..Try to make these kids sit at a table, dress up and turn off the tv/iphone is like torturing them.. So there is not much hope for it outside the home..

What y'all think? Baptist dress up more than any other denomination? And, the non-dom churches have the most relaxed attire?

7th Day ... they might give the Baptist a run for their money. Jehovah's Witnesses another.
