“You shall be my witnesses.” Acts 1:8. This passage gives us a task to do. We fulfill this task in many ways, including the way we work, play, walk, talk, and the way we dress. Trinity’s students and staff should dress in such a way that they are effective Christian witnesses to others. Dress also affects our feelings, the way we perform certain functions, and the way we behave. We can be in the world, but should not be of the world. The following dress code strives to establish a standard that maximizes learning potential while attending a Christian education institution. This dress code applies to all school activities and functions including athletic events, field trips, and after school activities.
