    An Incredible Valentine Banquet

    Thank you to everyone for supporting our teenagers at

    this years Valentine Banquet. We have a large number o

    middle school students involved here at FACC now, and

    we want them all to have a chance to attend CIY:

    Believe. This conference is for 5th-8th grade students,and just in the last month we have had around 20

    different students come through our doors, on either a

    Sunday or Wednesday, that are in this age group.

    Because of your generous efforts, at least 14 of these

    students can go to CIY for free. This is absolutely

    incredible, and you should be applauded for allowing God

    to work through you to bless this effort immeasurably

    more than we had imagined possible. We now ask for

    your prayer support as we encourage these teens tocommit to this incredible weekend.

    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 theSavior, 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 throua 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).

    OUR PURPOSE

    WE EXIST TO

    Exalt Gods Greatness;

    Evangelize Gods Work

    Equip Gods People

    Express Gods Love through Jesus Christ

    How Can I respond today?

    At FACC we look to the Bible for guidance on allissues. We believe that Gods Word is clear

    concerning 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.
