Ministry Search Update

Our search continues for a Part-Time Childrens Minister/Director and a Part-Time Worship andOutreach Minister. Interviewing has begun for both positions as we seek to find people who arethe right fit for Fifth Avenue. Please be patient with the Elders and myself as we go through thisprocess. We appreciate your prayers as it is our goal to move expeditiously yet cautiously in thissearch. As we move forward, we will inform you of any applicants worthy of hire and set up acongregational meeting for a vote.

No matter who comes to Fifth Avenue to serve with the existing Staff, our goal is that they mightcapture this essence of servanthood:

And the master said to the servant, Go out to the highways and hedges and compelpeople to come in, that my house may be filled (Luke 14:23 ESV).

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 theLord of your life.

Be baptized (immersed) in water for

the forgiveness of sins and to receivethe Holy Spirit into your life.

To make this life decision for Christ, we ask thatyou comeforward 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 ofCurious classes to help

you better understand what you are committing

to as a member.

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