• I agree to wear formal clothing that is modest and honors the Lord, Jesus Christ (no matter male or female) as outlined below:
  

  • Modesty is a respectable manner of adorning one’s body and carrying oneself, born out of a freedom from a worldly definition of beauty and worth, and motivated by a hatred of sin and a desire to draw attention to the only Savior and Lord Jesus Messiah.
