Dress Expectations for the teens/sponsors
In order to be consistent, we have set the following expectations for how our teens and Sponsors dress when coming to Youth Group activities or participating in Youth Group ministry events. Out of deference to parents, we allow them to decide the best way for their teens to dress for church services, including Sunday School and Wednesday night Bible Study. While we hope these same guidelines are honored during those times, we have put these in place expressly for activities and times when we are going out to serve together on behalf of our church/Youth Group.
“Community Dress”
(Ministry Night, shut-in visitation, soul-winning, special services, etc.)
(Most activities, some canvassing events, travel days for missions teams, etc.)
(This means we will be doing something more active, like Big Ball or Tube Tug on the ballfield or there is otherwise an expectation of getting dirty. Teen rallies, competitions on the ball field, etc.)
