Church Seeking In Arab & surrounding areas

Hi, I am looking for a church within driving distance of Arab that is ...how should I say it...alittle more relaxed in their dress than other churches.
I have never liked wearing dresses, if I do put on a dress...I no longer even feel like myself. I feel like I am trying to pretend to be something that I am not. I do not think this is how someone should feel in church. Since leaving Fla.(16 yrs ago) I haven't found a church that didn't expect all woman to wear dresses. It is this reason that I haven't attended church in many years. I have chose to stay true in my belief , but to do so from my home.
However I have 2 children that would really enjoy the youth activities that a church can provide. I also think they would benefit more if within a church setting.
Does anyone know of a church within a hour drive that a woman wearing a pair of dress/casual slacks would not be frowned upon? Please let me know.
I am not in any way putting down any church for the way the run things with in their church, I am not putting down any church for their belief. I am only searching for a church that like myself believes that God (higher-being etc) knows who we are as individuals and loves us still, regardless to what we are wearing at the time.
Thank you for commenting.

Malesa, Thank you so much for commenting. I'm amazed at how easy this has been. I can't tell you how many times I have gotten out the phone book and starting calling up churches.
Guess I just didn't call the right church! Hee!:)
Again thank you and I'm sure you will be seeing my family and myself with in a couple weeks.
I will pull up the church's site. Thkx

You and your children are welcome at New Canaan Baptist Church. We are located south of Arab, about 3 miles from the overpass. We are just a country church that loves to Lord and each other.

LIBERTY CHURCH Ya Is Keth still up there?
There are alot of them!

I dont know why church try to set a dress code I my self will walk in any of them dress the way I am!
I have studied the bible over 30 years!
Hafe the churchs only teach what ya what to hear.

I like the ones that will get on your ass for smokeing on the church grown! Church is to learn about Jehovah and his Son! Not to sit there and Smoke after serves or druing church events!

Im a ferm beliver in Bible truths! Dont teach trash in church. Teach Bible Facts

Hey Carryon, where in the Bible is it written than you are not supposed to smoke? Doesnt the Bible teach not to provoke you fellow Christians as I believe you are doing by posting all of your gossip and idle chatter in all the posts? Please go to church and stay of the internet.

For those of you that smoke cigarrettes or drink alcohol- Im not knocking you in my posts. Im saying it to those who are receiving any state/government assistance that can buy (cigs + beer) but cant support their priorities first.

you are more than welcome at eastside baptist we are located on fry gap rdabout 5 min out of arab, it is relaxed dress and has a very good youth program

Thanks annomys, I couldn't find a site on the internet for Eastside Baptist Church. Do they have one? If not do they send a pamplets or other info to those who seek more information regarding their beliefs , youth programs, etc? Thanks!

We have a 9 a.m. informal service at First Presbyterian in Guntersville, just down the hill from Arab. The dress is casual, the music is a mixture of contemporary and traditional. We meet in the fellowship hall around tables with our kids of all ages. It is a very relaxed atmosphere. In the summer, many folks have there hair in ponytails, flip-flops on their feet, and shorts. You can look at our website at www.guntersvillepcusa.com for more information. Many of the ladies bring light breakfast foods and someone usually fires up the coffee pot, too.

lmao, you believe there is a god!

You have alot of nerve,you stupid idiot.That is uncalled for.

Hey I would love to invite you to visit our church. I go to Spring Arbor in Fairview 20 minutes on hwy 69 toward cullman. My husband is the music director. We have an awesome youth pastor. And we will love ya no matter what you wear. I wear pants 98% of the time. Our website is www.springarborbc.org

calling people a stupid idiot sure is a christ-like thing to do.

go to Pleasant Valley Baptists--Go 7 mi. north of arab. Take a left, drop off the mountain, pass chicken houses on left (not in use) around curve on right. Wonderful Awanads program for children on Sun. ni. @ 5:00--great people--very casual

I'm not familiar with "Wonderful Awanads program for children". Please tell a little about it.

Sorry, I add a d. It is "Awana Program" for children. They learn Bible verses, play games receive awards or badges for what they've learned and eat. It will really grow a church. Takes really dedicated people to work with them. Look it up on the Internet.
