ACCA Doctrine: Trinity

The concept of the Trinity has long been explored—its biblical roots, its significance, and the best ways to preach it. Understanding and teaching this doctrine requires careful thought, especially in light of the variety of viewpoints held within our congregations. This course equips ministers to navigate these complexities with clarity and confidence. Together, we will explore the biblical foundations of the Trinity, engage with the wisdom of our elders, and discuss how to communicate this profound truth effectively. Topics include the three-in-one essence of God, the two natures of Christ, the distinct persons of Father, Son, and Spirit, and ways to speak—and not speak—about the Trinity. Strong Trinitarian doctrine shapes our understanding of God, salvation, and worship. Join us in studying, sharpening, and strengthening our preaching on this central truth of the Christian faith.
