A Place where, Jesus Christ is the center of worship, praise and honor.
 
 
It is the Goal of the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church to become a five-star church. Where, Jesus Christ is the center of worship, praise and honor; while at the same time pursing the needs of the people; according to the great commission, "Go into the world and make disciples." As required by the great Commission, we plan to do whatever we can do to win souls for Christ, to spread His Gospel, and to preach and teach the unadulterated word of God. As a result, this will promote spiritual growth and maturity.
Consequently, we will never change the inherent message of the Gospel of Jesus. Yet, be flexible enough to change our methods to meet ever-changing needs. Therefore, we will stay fresh, healthy, vibrant, and up-to-date in order to meet future needs of the people, though the power and unction of the Holy Spirit.
We refuse to entertain or accept any excuses. Instead, we execute all excuses. Christ lives in us, so all things are possible, and "We can do all things through Christ which strengthen us" (Phil 4:13).
Someone has said, "An excuse is a reason wrapped up in a lie." Jesus constantly dealt with the excuses of people for not following Him. An excuse is a deadly disease of the old nature. Excuses will not or cannot be condoned or tolerated. So, we will constantly pursue perfection according to the words of the Apostle Paul,
"Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after it… I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:12, 14).
