DRESS CODE & CONDUCT REQUIREMENTS -
To The Highest Common Standard… Rom. 14:14-16
Pastor/ Youth Pastor/ Parent:
We would ask that you please help us maintain a high standard of dress and conduct at Teen Thunder. It is our desire to push our young people towards excellence in every area of their spiritual growth. The trends of today do not encourage young people to honor their bodies as the temples of God. The worldly clothing of today diminishes the person. Often the language and conduct is carnal. Our desire is to present a higher standard in accordance with the principles of Scripture. We thank you for helping us maintain these principles and guidelines. Let us aim high so that we don’t miss the mark.
Male Attire

Collared shirt, clean, neat pants
We are trying to stay away from logos, and “slogans” as teens are not always the best at discretion.
