The Church
 The Christian church is fundamental to believers.
Although it has many faults it is recognized as God's
body on earth.
 The church is the place where the Christian faith is

nurtured and where the Holy Spirit is manifest on earth.
 It is where Christians are received into the faith and

where they are brought together into one body through
the Eucharist.
The 7 Basics of Christianity:
1. God. You need to understand that God consists of three equal persons: God the
Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. This is called the “Trinity”.
2. Jesus. You need to have a big picture understanding to know His importance.
3. The Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is God’s presence on earth.
4. The Bible. The Bible is God’s Word
5. Prayer. Prayer is a conversation with God.
6. Grace. Grace is the unmerited favor of God upon our lives.
7. Community. Christian community will change your life.
7 Sacrament
1. Baptism
2. Confirmation
3. Eucharist
4. Ordination
5. Marriage
6. Reconciliation
7. Anointing of the Sick
Baptism
 The Christian church believes in one
baptism into the Christian church, whether
this be as an infant or as an adult, as an
outward sign of an inward commitment to
the teachings of Jesus.
Sacrament of Confirmation
 Confirmation is a sacrament, ritual or rite of passage practiced by several
Christian denominations. The word means strengthening or deepening
one's relationship with God.
 In Christian confirmation, a baptised person believes that he or she is
receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit. A bishop usually conducts the service
but there are variations in how it is carried out.
 In the Anglican Church, the sacrament of confirmation is conferred
through the laying of hands. In the Roman Catholic Church, each
participant is also anointed with oil.
Eucharist
 Eucharist is a Greek word for thanksgiving. Its
celebration is to commemorate the final meal
that Jesus took with his disciples before his
death (the Last Supper).
 The Eucharist (also known as a Communion
meal in some churches) is central to the Church
and is recognised as a sign of unity amongst
Christians.
Introduction
to theTrinity
The core belief The doctrine of the Trinity is the
Christian belief that:
 There is One God, who is Father, Son, and Holy

Spirit.
 The Trinity is a controversial doctrine; many Christians
admit they don't understand it, while many more
Christians don't understand it but think they do.
 Trinity Sunday, which falls on the first Sunday after
Pentecost, is one of the few feasts in the Christian
calendar that celebrate a doctrine rather than an
event.
A Fundamental Doctrine
 The doctrine of the Trinity is one of the most difficult ideas in
Christianity, but it's fundamental to Christians because it:
•states what Christians believe God is like and who he is
•plays a central part in Christians' worship of an "unobjectifiable and
incomprehensible God"
•emphasises that God is very different from human beings
•reflects the ways Christians believe God encounters them
•is a central element of Christian identity
•teaches Christians vital truths about relationship and community
•reveals that God can be seen only as a spiritual experience whose
mystery inspires awe and cannot be understood logically
Unpacking the Doctrine
 The idea that there is One God, who is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
means:
•There is exactly one God
•The Father is God
•The Son is God
•The Holy Spirit is God
•The Father is not the Son
•The Son is not the Holy Spirit
•The Father is not the Holy Spirit
