That's right.
The New Testament provides us with very little emphasis on Trinitarian theology. When things do get addressed it is in the form of rebuttals. In other words, when aberrant groups began to spread their heretical teachings in the church, whether they be gnostics, Catholics, JDubs, or Mormons, at that point the apostles and teachers must step in to rightly divide the word of God in order to shepherd the church of God.
Apart from that, the N.T. exhorts us to pay our attention, not to theology and endless doctrinal discussions, but to the works of faith and labors of love.
