Default Do people that are part of the Eastern Orthodox Church believe in the Trinity?

Do most of them believe in the Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit are one) as does many of the Catholics?

Im pretty sure they do since Orthodox is also a branch of Christianity like Catholicism - but Im not 100% sure...
(this is embarrassing Lil)
THC for the answer(s)!

Yes, they do, but what does it matter?

Answer: ALL Orthodox Christians believe in the Trinity. If they do not believe in the Trinity, they cannot be Orthodox.

For more information on what the Eastern Orthodox Church believes, I would recommend looking at the "Our Faith" section of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America's website: http://www.goarch.org/en/ourfaith/

The teachings about the Trinity are enumerated in the sections on the First and Second Ecumenical councils.

Don't be embarrassed, not a lot of people know about the Eastern church.

Orthodox Christians believe in a God who is both three and one. The Father is the cause or origin of the Godhead, from whom the Son is begotten eternally and also from whom the Holy Spirit proceeds eternally. The Holy Trinity is three, distinct, divine persons, without overlap or modality among them, who share one divine essence, uncreated, immaterial and eternal. Orthodox doctrine regarding the Holy Trinity is summarized in the Symbol of Faith.
