I can share a few reasons why some churches do not teach the Trinity.

1. The word "Trinity" is not found in the Bible. The argument is - why preach a word that is not found in scriptures?

2. The definition of Trinity differs between churches. A church who defines Trinity as "three persons in One God" finds it acceptable. While a church who defines Trinity as "three gods operating as one" considers it polytheism.

3. To prove God is One is easy. 

Deuteronomy 6:4
Shema Ysrael, the Lord Our God, the Lord is One!

To prove that there are three persons in One God requires cross-referencing a lot of scripture, as the verses that support this claim are not explicit.

John 10:30
I and the Father are one.

Matthew 28:19
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

2 Corinthians 13:14
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

Matthew 3:16-17
And when Jesus was baptized, immediately he went up from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming to rest on him; and behold, a voice from heaven said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”
