Christians use the Trinity as the guide for worship and belief. Christians believe that the Trinity displays God's loving nature, which impacts their worship.

God the Father

Christians believe that God the Father, as the creator, cares for all that he has made. They pray to him in the knowledge that he cares about them and is powerful,, like Jesus did in the Lord's prayer:

"This, then is how you should pray: 'Our father in heaven, hallowed be your name ..." '

God the Son

Christians believe that, around 5 BCE, God the Son became a human being, and was given the name Jesus. Christians believe Jesus is their saviour, friend and role model. They follow the example set by Jesus, who came into the world to teach people how to live lives of goodness, love and faith. A core belief about Jesus is that he died to take the sins from all people. Worship is therefore happy and joyful as Christians express their thanks to God the Son.

God the Holy Spirit

Christians believe that the Holy Spirit is their comforter and guide. They believe that the Holy Spirit lives in their hearts and enables them to live good lives; make the right decisions; praise and worship God. Charismatic churches, such as the Pentecostal Church and an increasing number of Anglican churches, will ask the Holy Spirit to enable them to worship using spiritual gifts. These church services are often less formal and involve dancing and creative expression.
