Each week in worship we say that our congregation extends beyond the walls of our church. Hundreds of people from all around the United States and the world call Fifth Avenue their home. Beyond the Walls is a chance for you to come home for the weekend. It is an opportunity for our “extended family” to get to know Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church up close. And for us to get to know you!

Whether you’re as close as Connecticut or as far away as California, come experience worship in person, enjoy an evening welcome on the Fifth Avenue terrace with the clergy and staff, share in a Bible study on the scriptures that inspire this hybrid church ministry, and deepen our relationships as we break bread together.

On Friday, June 6 through Sunday, June 8 we will host our third annual Beyond the Walls weekend. Members of our extended church family are invited to join us in New York for a weekend of special events and fellowship, especially planned to integrate our online campus with our onsite church community!

The weekend schedule combines church events with free time in the city, so you can get acclimated to Fifth Avenue and enjoy a mini-vacation at the same time.

How long you spend in the city is up to you. If possible, we hope you will arrive by late afternoon on Friday, June 6, in time for our welcome event. We hope you can stay until all events conclude, which will be about 2 pm on Sunday, June 8.
