And the young people in the church that do know the standards, dress so cute and modern, that they just look adorable.
People comfortably attend the church as they are. Somewhere along the line, possibly in a new converts class, standards are taught, but they are not preached from the pulpit.
The platform definately looks the part, as do the ushers and greeters, but the most of the congregation come as they are.
It is a praying, fasting, soul winning church, with a mightly move of the Holy Ghost, people being baptized and being filled with the Spirit, Gifts of the Spirit in operation. Being part of this Church is bringing joy back into my soul.

That's awesome Amanah!! Praise God for those who have found a way to have unity of the brethren, and continue in the spirit of the early church!
