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 equ
them to find a ministry based upon their strengths. Wwant everyone to serve in some capacity. (1 Corinthian
12:12-27) We also want His church to be the livingevidence of His love and power to the world.
DiscipleshipWe do not want you to "get religion" here at Fifth Aven
Church of Christ in Lancaster. We are all about teachinyou that Jesus seeks a daily relationship with Him throu
a life of obedience. In other words, we want to see thethings 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 allissues. We believe that Gods Word is clearconcerning what a person must do to become aChristian.
Trust that Jesus can bring you to salvation. 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 the
forgiveness of sins and to receive the HolySpirit into your life.
To make this life decision for Christ, we ask that youcome forward during our commitment song at theconclusion of the Sunday message. Baptized believersare welcome to become members at FACC by comingforward on Sunday morning or by seeing our SeniorMinister to discuss this further. We ask that youcomplete a series ofCurious 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
OUR MISSION
To Love God and Love People!
