Does your church allow women to wear pants in chapel/church? If so, what type of church do you attend?

Question

I have found that a majority of churches in my state "mid-atlantic" region of the US will not accept me in pants.

Answer 1

Yes, as a matter of fact,I attend a Pentecostal church. This is a change from say twenty years ago when women wearing pants at all was forbidden.

Today, they are focusing on assisting those who are seeking Christ with just that. A closer relationship with Him. Some would argue that He wore a skirt to temple, so why not women wear pants?

God could really care less how one is dressed when they reach out to Him. A hooker on the corner may be scantily dressed, but if she calls on Him for assistance with a clean and pure heart, He will answer.

Answer 2

I have attended church all across the country (husband was Air Force). I have attended Lutheran, Northern Baptist, Protestant, Episcipol, Catholic, etc. None of them required that we wear skirts. Women are free to wear whatever they chose pants or skirt.

I have a friend who goes to a church, it's a fundamentalist type group. They require her to wear a skirt at all times, long sleeves, can't cut her hair, etc. BUT in America this is NOT the norm.

Almost all regions and Christian type or protestant churches don't dictate the dress. Here in Arizona when it's 118 in August, there are people who come to the Catholic Mass in shorts.

Considering God created Adam and Eve to be naked at all times and it was not until they sinned that they felt the need to cover themselves from God, I think it's more important your heart and mind is ready to worship God than what you wear. BUT I am NOT suggesting you go naked! Just that there are more important things to think about for worship than what you are wearing. After all your there for God not for those around you judging your outfit. After all come judgement day you will be judged by God not them.

So really what you wear should be between you and God.

I am from a non-denomination church in Las Vegas. It has pentecostal roots. We have no problems with women wearing pants. If women wears pants which are too inappropriate, the Holy Spirit will convict her. But overall, pants are not a problem

Answer 8

We are all encouraged to dress our best when representing or coming before our God but there are no rules and when, for whatever reason, women have come in pants, no one has even questioned it, let alone shunned them. I am a Jehovah's Witness.

Answer 9

Of course, God is not concerned with what you wear, unless it is to skimpy and men get distracted by you. Come as you are. Christian bible teaching church! We are not concerned with the outward appearance but the condition of the soul!

Answer 10

American churches usually don't have dress requirements of any kind. All you have to do is come in dressed tastefully.
