Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church is one of 100 churches belonging to the Presbytery of New York City, which is part of Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) via the Synod of the Northeast. Our church contributes to the work of the Presbytery with both financial support and the time and talent of elders who sit on Presbytery committees or members who work in different areas of the Presbytery. Elders, called commissioners, are also designated to attend and cast their vote at Presbytery meetings.
