    Core Values...Values central to the life, mission and vision of Fifth

    Avenue Church of Christ are:

    Christ-Centered WorshipWe make it a priority every Sunday to celebrate Jesus

    through our music. (Romans 11:36-12:1-2). We focus oJesus through grace-based preaching and teaching &

    understand the Bible is our authority (2 Timothy 3:16)

    Church Health and Biblical BalanceChurch health becomes reality when God's people seek

    harmony & live consistently. We expect every member protect the unity of Christ's Church. (Romans 12:16; 1

    Peter 3:8)

    Global EvangelismWe are constant to our founding call to worldwide

    evangelism, proclaiming to all that Jesus Christ is the

    Savior, Healer, and Soon-Coming King (Acts 20:27).

    Fellowship and MinistryAfter people begin their journey with Jesus, we will

    equip them to find a ministry based upon their strengthWe want everyone to serve in some capacity. (1

    Corinthians 12:12-27) We also want His church to be thliving evidence of His love and power to the world.

    DiscipleshipWe do not want you to "get religion" here at Fifth

    Avenue Church of Christ in Lancaster. We are all abouteaching you that Jesus seeks a daily relationship withHim through a life of obedience. In other words, wewant to see the things you are taught actually change

    your lifestyle & your daily decisions.

    Social ConscienceWe place high value on the sanctity of human life, of

    Biblical marriage and morality, and we welcome ethnidiversity (Isaiah 56:7; Philippians 2:15-16).

    How Can I respond today?At FACC we look to the Bible for guidance on all

    issues. We believe that Gods Word is clear

    concerning what a person must do to become a

    Christian.

    Trust that Jesus can bring you tosalvation.

    Turn (repent) from the sin in your life. Confess your desire to make Jesus the

    Lord of your life.

    Be baptized (immersed) in water for theforgiveness of sins and to receive the

    Holy Spirit into your life.

    To make this life decision for Christ, we ask that

    youcomeforward during our commitment song at

    the conclusion of the Sunday message. Baptized

    believers are welcome to become members at

    FACC by coming forward on Sunday morning or

    by seeing our Senior Minister to discuss this

    further. We ask that you complete a series of

    Curious classes to help you better understand

    what you are committing to as a member.

    OUR PURPOSE

    WE EXIST TO

    Exalt Gods Greatness; Evangelize Gods Work Equip Gods People Express Gods Love through Jesus Christ
