I've seen men at my church in the summertime wear shorts. Especially on Saturday evening service where people dress more casually than on Sunday am service. But even on Sundays you can get away with fairly casual wear. Meaning...ok to wear jeans but not jeans and a tshirt.

Usually chino or khaki type shorts. Not denim or cargo.

Negative ghostrider. Protestants may not wear suits anymore but most at least strive for business casual. Catholics dress like they're heading to the Prop Stop after church.



This. Growing up with my catholic friends if we were at their false river camp they let us wear shorts to mass in New Roads.

doubt Jesus was trashy so I imagine he'd appreciate if his followers at least put in a little effort to not look trashy in his house.

He is cool with you wearing what you like

As long as you give your fair share the powers that be don’t care.
It’s all about the money.

Basketball shorts? On some Sunday/Wednesday nights when playing basketball before/after church with teens.

If your church has basketball it’s preaching the wrong message. Heaven is a paradise. There’s no way it could be paradise if it was full of basketball fans

I go to the most awesome church. Our pastor wears jeans 99% of the time. No one wears suits and ties. And yes I and others wear shorts! Ahhhh the horror!!!
Jesus is the focus people. It’s relaxed and everyone is made to feel comfortable in every sense of the word.
God Bless River City Church in New Braunfels, Texas.
I thank God for him leading me here. My family is truly blessed.
If Jesus is the focus then a house of worship is just a building. The church is the community you worship with. Wearing shorts should NEVER be the focus.

It’s OK as long as you’ve not yet celebrated your 10th birthday.

I don't even let my kids wear jeans to church on a Sunday. Midweek service, jeans are OK. Shorts? Nope.

I hope your religious tendencies are never embedded in your offspring

If you can't make the effort to clean upend dress nice for church you probably should not go.


Jesus wore a tunic down to his ankles, a shawl and sandals. He had long hair, a beard and preached peace, love and understanding.

If jesus showed up today in his natural state of being, these right wing religious nuts in their short sleeved starched shirts and brown ties, would call him a dope smoking hippie and beat the shite out of him.
