Some churches require sisters to wear skirts and head-covering especially during Lord's day worship while other churches meet barefoot. Do you have a dress code in the church?

We do not. Most people make an effort to dress up to show honor, but if someone showed up in jeans, they would be just as welcome as someone in a suit.

A man who comes with gold rings in splendid clothing and a poor man in filthy clothing should be regarded equally as brothers without respect of persons (James 2:2)

no, we do not have a dress code, everyone come as they so desire. whatever they decide to wear is ok.We should not judge people by what they wear because we really can"t say who they are inside, only God can. God does not look at the outward appearence, he look at the heart.

Great response. I have always felt this way, what does it matter what you wear.

I heard from others that they do not have a dress code as long as they come dressed, but will wearing nighties be allowed?

yes. we do have dress codes during the mass. like atleast a knee lenght skirt and a decent blouse (atleast white) for women and a decent pair of clothes for me, too. it's good atleast, we are able to differentiate our styles of clothings between church and our everyday lives.

It reminds me of my college years, where disciplinarians carry vernier caliphers at the gate to check us if we conform to the school's dress code.

We don't have a dress code, though my mom raised me to dress respectfully when I enter the Lord's house.

Christians follow certain dress codes. Not just when going to church but a dress code regarding their everyday lives. A sample of this dress code is stated in 1 timothy 2:9 In the same way also, I desire taht women adorn themselves in decent clothing, with modesty and sensibleness, not adorned with braiding, or gold, or pearls, or costly clothing -- 1 Timothy 2:9

Amen, what you wear everyday should be the same what you wear when attending church meetings beacuse the Christian meeting is a reflection and exhibition of the Christian living.
