The Eastern Orthodox Church believes in the Trinity, the divinity of Jesus Christ, the importance of tradition and scripture, sacraments as a means of grace, the veneration of saints and icons, and the concept of theosis, where individuals strive to become more like God. They also prioritize unity with the early Christian Church and emphasize the authority of ecumenical councils in shaping their doctrinal beliefs.
