    Lots of them do! There are 3 Pentecostal churches where I live and they are all casual wear. Blue jeans, T-shirts, slacks, whatever you want to wear is fine. God doesn't care what kind of clothes you have. Next Sunday drive around to a couple of churches and see what the people are wearing, not just one or two people, watch for a while as they go to church and then sit and watch another church when the congregation is leaving, or just start calling around. Ask if they allow casual dress, I think you will be surprised! A lot of churches are becoming more concerned with soul saving than with the clothes people wear and if it isn't, that's not the kind of church you want to attend anyway. God bless and I pray He will guide you to a good old-fashioned, spirit-filled church wear you can dress comfortably!

    Dress is a very cultural thing. There are far more casual churches on the West Coast than in the rest of the U.S. But I'm sure they exist everywhere. They tend to be the ones growing the fastest.

    Here's an idea to find one in your area. Casual services are sometimes called "contemporary services." (Actually, contemporary refers to the style of music, but people who like a more rocky and upbeat musical style tend to dress more casually.) Do a search on "worship," "contemporary," and "x" where x=the name of your city. Find a church that has a contemporary worship service, and you'll probably find a church that dresses casually.

    Yes there are!!!! I have Long hair and wear Jeans and t-shirts, as well as sit in the front row with work boots on. Christians I know dont judge me by any means. Have you ever seen bands like POD, Skillet, Thousand foot krutch? Its not about what you wear, its where your heart is, AND GOD KNOWS THAT, So as the statement goes, '"if god is for me then who shall be against me. Dont let people conform your worship, if anything is said, say "judge not lest ye be Judged" Or how about did Christ speak only to the well dressed? I DONT THINK SO. Read some scripture to defend your worship.

    Peace

    Many churches actually have "casual sunday" or "dress like christ" day. Mostly this is a Unitarian practice, but I am sure if you look around you will be able to find a faith that addresses your fashion concerns.

    ps, I like your pic, you are quite the looker.

    I've been going to church for 30 years and I have yet to dress up. Clean is good, those bothersome body parts covered is good also. It is hard on others, they get distracted by your awesomeness and forget that God is meant to be the only awesome one in the Church on Sunday morning.

    You are going to worship God and He isn't checking on your clothes He's the one who puts the desire for you to go the church in your mind anyway.

    I go to a nondenominational outreach church. No dress code, and free food for those who need it. I swore I'd never do this, but... the Catholic church *I used to belong to* didn't have much of a dress code either, at least for the later masses. (It's a long story, and had little to do with the church itself.)

    I can't think of one that mandates you have to wear formal or "dress up" gear. Most just say come as you are
