EDGE DOCTRINAL STATEMENT We believe that

-the Bible is the source of all truth and in its original manuscript is the inspired and infallible Word of God.

-from all eternity God has existed in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God The Holy Spirit.

-each man willfully and naturally violates the laws of God and is therefore under His condemnation.

-Jesus Christ, being both God and man, yet without sin, took the penalty of our sins upon Himself, one time, through his death on the

cross, and that His subsequent resurrection proved His authority over life & death.

-only by personal acceptance of His death and resurrection is each man given the opportunity to become reconciled to God, obtaining

eternal life in His presence.
