We believe in the True God the Eternally Self-Existent, “I AM”, the Creator of heaven and earth and Redeemer of mankind manifested in three persons; Almighty Father, Divine Son and Holy Ghost.
Genesis 1:1, John 5:7, John 1:1, 4:24, Matthew 10:20, II Corinthians 3:17-18
We believe in the Bible as the inspired, infallible Word of God, inerrant in the original autographs and the only rule of faith, guide for practice and indisputable and ultimate authority of the Revelation of God, His Will and His Way.
II Timothy 3:16-17, Psalms 19:7-11, 2 Peter 1:16-21
We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, the incarnation of the Father, born of a virgin, very God of every God for, and by whom all things were created.
I John 1:1-10
We believe in the substitutionary atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ, that He, by the grace of God tasted death for every man and that all must be born again through faith in Him or are forever lost. Redemption is accomplished by the cross and blood of our Lord. Jesus Christ, by grace through faith, believing in the heart that God raised Him from the dead. Salvation is by Jesus Christ and none other for God has highly exalted Him and given a name, which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, earth and those under the earth. We further believe that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the Glory of God the Father.
Hebrews 2:9, John 3:1-18, John 6:44-49, Ephesians 2:8, Romans 10:9, Philippians 2:9-11
We believe in the physical resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ and that He ascended bodily into the heaven and is now at the right hand of the Father as our Mediator, High Priest and Advocate.
Acts 3:12-26, John 20, Hebrews 9:24, I Corinthians 15:12-28
We believe in water baptism and Holy Communion The Lord’s Supper as the ordinances of the church to be observed as public declaration of salvation through Jesus Christ and the commemoration of His death, burial and resurrection in victory over satan, death, hell and the grave.
Matthew 3:11,14, 26:26-29, Luke 22:17-23
We believe in the personal, visible, imminent return of Jesus Christ both for His Saints and with His Saints in reign to victory.
I Thessalonians 4:13-18, Corinthians 15:50-55, Revelation 19:19-20, 20:1-6
We believe in the authority of the believer over the enemy satan and the victory to be gained by the exercise of that authority in the areas of deliverance, healing and holiness.
Ephesians 1:20-23, 6:10-7
We believe in the personality and reality of satan as the enemy of the Kingdom of God, Saints of God and of the Lord; and in his ultimate defeat by the Lord Jesus Christ and potential defeat in the lives of spirit filled believers clothed in the Armor of God.
Revelation 12:9-10, Matthew 4:2-11, Isaiah 14:12-17, John 8
We believe in the autonomy of the local church as an independent entity with regard to matters of government, polity operation and discipline.
I Corinthians 5:5, II Thessalonians 3:6, 14-15, Acts 11:22, Titus 1:5

Harrison Street Missionary Baptist Church was born from a need of a Baptist Church for the people of color on the North side of Paducah. This need became apparent to the Rev. George Dupee, the Pastor of Washington Street Baptist Church in 1877. Rev. Dupee and other members of the Washington Street Baptist Church began conducting what they called the “Need More Mission” on the North side. When the mission had developed Rev. Dupee called Rev. Tyler for the first leader of the “Need More Mission”. Rev. Tyler was Pastor from 1887 -1889. From 1889 -1894 Rev. J.S. Candor led the flock.
From 1894-1907 Rev. W.F. Ward became the pastor of this now established flock, and in 1898 the group transformed a two room house into a church and changed the name from “Need More” to First Ward Church.
In 1907 the church was destroyed by fire. A call was extended to the Rev. J.O. Griffin and with the help of devoted christians a new structure was built.
