The world of the twenty first century today has many achievements yet as the saying goes; the more things change the more they remain the same. This seems to be the case in matters of dress especially in reference to women’s attire. The Christian scriptures do not seem to give a normative direction in matters of adornment in general and women’s dress in particular. The main objective of this study was to examine the extent to which the attitude towards adornment in trousers among women in Mumias sub-county Full Gospel Churches of Kenya was a gender negation rather than a Biblical position. To achieve this, the study analyzed the Full Gospel Churches of Kenya policy on women dressing. The literature review was carried out using themes drawn from the objective. The study was guided by the liberal feminism theory. This theory was used to establish if there were individual rights and equal opportunities as a basis for social justice and reform in Mumias Full Gospel Churches.
