Throughout its history, Christians fellowshipping at Fifth Avenue Chapel have sought to model the New Testament pattern for the local church as described in Acts 2:42: And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.

Worship - our conviction that worship is vital to the devotional life of the assembly, and to individual believers, is expressed in the weekly remembrance of the Lord’s work through the communion feast.

Teaching - our conviction that the Bible is the inspired Word of God is evident in varied opportunities to explore the Scriptures.

Prayer - our conviction that prayer is the divinely appointed means to express gratitude to God and request His intervention is seen in opportunities for its exercise, both individually and corporately.

Fellowship - our conviction that regular fellowship is essential to both growth and service is witnessed by frequent encouragement to support and interact with one another.
