I'm going over that link you gave me and I can't find a darn thing about your doctrinal beliefs or a Statement of Faith. I'll keep browsing it.
That said, we are FOLLOWING Jesus command which say to Baptize in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. See St. Matthew 28:19.

The home page has those topics and more, just click on them. I'm just barely above computer illiterate.

Repeating a command is not necessarily following a command.
What is the name of the Father?
There are several names of God, in Hebrew and Greek, that men are aware of, but only Jesus is the saving name chosen by God to redeem fallen man.
Acts 4:12 "..there is none other NAME under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved".
Heb. 1:4 "..as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent NAME..".
John 5:43 Jesus said: "I am come in my Father's NAME....".
Col. 3:17 "And whatsoever ye do in word or deed,do all in the NAME of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him."
The name of the Son is Jesus. No doubt about that.
What is the name of the Holy Ghost?
John 14:26 Jesus said: "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in MY NAME,..".
That is why the apostles baptized in the NAME of Jesus.
They knew the NAME (singular) of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Jesus.
