Have you ever struggled to explain “the Trinity” when talking with someone from another faith? Or do you often wonder why we pray in the name of Jesus but not in the name of the Spirit? The doctrine of the Trinity is one of the most important teachings of the Christian faith, as it describes who God is and how He relates to His creation. In this 12-week class, we will explore the biblical portrayals of Father, Son, and Spirit, ways to describe the Trinity (without committing heresy), and how the historic Christian church has thought about this topic. While we can never fully understand the Trinity, we can find comfort in Scripture as God has revealed Himself for all people to know.
