DRESS CODE & CONDUCT REQUIREMENTS -
(adhere closely to avoid being 86'ed (removed from the event) by one of the carnies (carnival worker)!)
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.
