The name for God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit is the Trinity. Thats what Trinity Church is named after. This is quite a complicated subject.

Christians believe in one God with three parts. These are often called God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Each part is different, and together they make up one God.

God the Father created the world.

Jesus the Son came to earth as a baby, and ended up being killed on the cross.

The Holy Spirit is an invisible helper who gives us power.

People often use different words to mean the same thing. They sometimes pray to God and sometimes to Jesus. It doesnt really matter because its all the same God.

Confused? Think of water. When it is frozen it is ice. Normally it is a liquid. When it is warm it makes steam. All of these are made of exactly the same thing, but they are all different. Its the same with God. The three parts are all God, but all different at the same time.
