More more than 200 years, the congregation now known as Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church has been a center of worship, education and service to New York City and people around the world.
The church's history is one of diversity and innovation inspired by its location at the crossroads of the world, New York City.
The Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church Archives is a repository where records of long-term value are organized, preserved, maintained and made available for research and reference. The Archives house materials and records generated by the church since its founding in 1808.
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.
