The Church Originates from the
Trinity
“The Church is a reality that
we can never fully understand
because it is imbued with the
hidden presence of God….
We belong to different communities, one of
which is the Church. The Church is a
community where everyone is a child of God;
it is a community where each one is given the
capacity to care for one another. The Church
is patterned after the Holy Trinity.
Teachings of the Catholic Church

•The model and source of our

communion as Christians with Jesus
and with one another is God’s own
Trinitarian communion- the Father
and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

 The Church?

• The community of baptized people united by their

faith in Jesus and by their love for one another.
• The Church has a beginning, but unlike some
communities, The Church will never end.
• It will continue until the time when all have been
judged and are experiencing eternal happiness with
the Trinity, this is the time when the Church shall
be perfect.
 Originate?

•Church comes from the

Hebrew word “Qahal” which is
the equivalent of the Greek
word “ekklesia.”
Originate?

•Both words mean people

of God or an assembly
convoked by God.
• In the Old Testament, God formed a
people and called them His own.
Today who is the Church?

• The Church is the new

people of God
The Church is the new people of God
• The full blossoming of God’s kingdom
happens because the Holy Spirit inspires its
members to engage in the ministry.
•As the fruit of the collective efforts of
the Trinity, the Church manifests the
communion that exists in the Trinity in
its structure since all of its members
are called to form one community
bound by love.
• The Church originated from the Trinity,
and this truth challenges us to look into
ourselves, as members of the Church. As
the Holy Trinity is united, so we must be
in Christ’s branches. We must be united in
Him and from one another.
