God the Father as Creator and sustainer; Trinity broadly affirmed
The Zion Christian Church affirms that God is the eternal Creator and sustainer of all things. God is transcendent, all-powerful, and all-knowing. As the Father in the Trinity, God is the source of all being and the ultimate authority. This classical understanding of God's nature and attributes forms the foundation of ZCC theology.
