Basic Definition:

Within the one Being that is God, there exists eternally three co-equal and co-eternal persons, namely, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Detailed Definition:

There is one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.

From the Father was begotten the Son before creation, the Word, very God from very God. The Son is not a god, but the word of God; he is the exact imprint of the Father's essence.

Proceeding from the Father, through the son, is the Holy Spirit, very God from very God. The Holy Spirit is not a god, but the power of God; he is that which is God.

All three persons work as one unit in everything.

Although they are co-equal in substance, all three are fully God, the Son is subordinate to the Father, and the Holy Spirit is subordinate to both the Father and the Son.
