Unitarian Church

Definition

The Unitarian Church is a Christian denomination that believes in the oneness (unity) of God rather than the Trinity (Father, Son, Holy Spirit). They also emphasize freedom in religious thought.

Analogy

Imagine if you were baking a cake but decided to only use one ingredient instead three - flour but no eggs or sugar. That’s kind-of like how Unitarians view God – as one entity instead three separate ones (Father, Son & Holy Spirit).
