The Trinity: We believe in the Trinity. No Exceptions.
First and foremost, understand that there is only one God. If the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit are not persons of the same God, then worshiping any of the three would violate the teachings of the Holy Bible (Exodus 34:14). For a comprehensive overview of the Trinity, please visit [this link].
Only the Christian God is one in essence but three in personhood—what theologians describe as one What and three Whos. This triune nature means that God is not just personal but superpersonal, transcending human understanding of personhood.
Trinitarian monotheism also addresses philosophical issues that unitarian concepts of God (God as a single, solitary person) cannot solve. For example, the great Christian church father, St. Augustine (A.D. 354-430), in his monumental work On the Trinity, explained that only a God who is a unity within plurality can be both loving and knowing.

We tackle questions like:
- Do all religions lead to the same place?
Contrary to popular belief, not all religions lead to the same destination. A brief examination of the world’s major religions reveals significant differences in their core tenets. Read more from Josh McDowell here. - Are Science and Christianity enemies?
Far from being at odds, some of the strongest evidence for a creator God comes from science itself. Explore Alister McGrath's insights on this topic here. - Can we trust the Bible?
Understanding the origins and reliability of the Bible is crucial for faith. If we can't trust the Bible, we undermine the foundation of our teaching. Chris Knight discusses why we can trust the New Testament here. K.A. Kitchen provides reliable insights on the Old Testament. - Was Jesus really God?
If Jesus wasn’t who the Bible claims He is, our faith would be in vain. Peter Kreeft offers profound insights on this essential topic here. - If God is real, why is there so much evil in the world?
This question is not just theoretical; it's deeply personal for many, especially teenagers who face their own struggles. Josh McDowell provides an introductory article on this difficult question here.
