I lean more to the traditional side of things but I also can adapt to my environment. When in Orange Beach, the majority of men and women at the church we attend dress very casual. At the beach and I get it. At our home church, the majority of men and women dress more like business casual ( men khaki's and a collard shirt ) except for the elders. They always were a suit.

But here's the thing I think about in order to get more people to attend. Several years ago at the church we attend for some twenty plus years there was a big push to have a contemporary service before the traditional service started so we did. Older members left the church and so did their money. We went this path for a couple of years but that wasn't good enough to bring in more "young people" so the contemporary folks wanted to completely end the traditional service so we did. Then that wasn't good enough so the contemporary folks went full blown liberal and against God's word in the bible so we traditionalist left. Not only did we plant a new church we had to pay a large some of money to do so.

So I don't understand why going to church has to be so complicated. Go to the church that best fits you and your beliefs but don't change what's been working for thousands of years because you aren't comfortable and don't feel welcomed.
