On July 1, we marked the occasion of our 113th year, here at Fifth Avenue. We are thankful for that brave band of believers who launched this congregation in July of 1900. May we ever be true to the faith commitment of those first members.

Last week at Sunday Night Live, we learned about The Armor of God. As Christians, we are always on the battle field. Every day is a war we must fight against sin and temptation. Thankfully, God has given each and every one of us a suit of armor to keep us safe. Belt of Truth, Breastplate of Righteousness, sandals of Peace, Shield of Faith, Helmet of Salvation and Sword of the Spirit which is the Bible. And Prayer is what Holds it all together! Thank you Lord, for your Protection! Ephesians 6:10-18 Coming up in two weeks!!! FAMILY SUNDAY. August 4th! This simply means, that for second service all of the kids will stay with their families for the service. Use this time to draw closer to the Lord as a family. This will be a very fun service that appeals to all ages! Hope to see everyone there! Hannah

Andrew had a great time at church camp. His favorite part was swimming in Round Lake and visiting the canteen. He made a new friend and is looking forward to attending again. Thank you so much to everyone who made it possible for Andrew to attend camp this year through prayers, encouragement and financial means. Your support means a lot to us. Thanks again, Tim, Tracy and Andrew

Core Values...
Values central to the life, mission and vision of Fifth Avenue Church of Christ are: Christ-Centered Worship
We make it a priority every Sunday to celebrate Jesus through our music. (Romans 11:36-12:1-2). We focus on Jesus through gracebased preaching and teaching & understand the Bible is our authority (2 Timothy 3:16).
Global Evangelism
We are constant to our founding call to worldwide evangelism, proclaiming to all that Jesus Christ is the Savior, Healer, and SoonComing King (Acts 20:27).
Discipleship
We do not want you to "get religion" here at Fifth Avenue Church of Christ in Lancaster. We are all about teaching you that Jesus seeks a daily relationship with Him through a life of obedience. In other words, we want to see the things you are taught actually change your lifestyle & your daily decisions.
Social Conscience
We place high value on the sanctity of human life, of Biblical marriage and morality, and we welcome ethnic diversity (Isaiah 56:7; Philippians 2:15-16).
