The process of growth leading to mature Christian faith is initiated in Baptism and fulfilled in resurrection life. This process recognizes the developmental stages all individuals move through. Mature Christian life can unfold only in an environment that is continually nurturing and challenging. (NCD 32, 33)

The most effective agent of faith formation is the Christian home/community/parish that is welcoming and inviting, bound together in worship and sacramental life, and living out the gospel message in service to others. (GCD 21, 23)
Small faith-sharing groups and small Christian communities organized within the parish community provide an environment for catechesis that enhances individual growth in the context of a nurturing faith community. (EN 58)

The catechesis of adults, with appropriate methodology and done in an organized manner, is central to the existence of a fully Christian community.
The community cannot carry out a permanent catechesis of its members without the direct and skilled participation of adults; the catechesis of the young depends on the witness and teaching of the adult members of the community. (CT 43, AC 25; GCD 20; NCD 40, 185)

A dimension of faith formation, that is, "to inform," is the passing on of truths, beliefs, and traditions through formal and informal education. (GCD 21, 24)

To be “formed” is that dimension of faith formation which nurtures faith, character and consciousness. It moves beyond cognition to shaping attitudes and values, beyond knowing to living in a Christian manner. (GCD 22; NCD 32, 170)

A further dimension of faith formation, that is, “transformation” refers to the on-going conversion of life experienced by followers of Jesus as they learn to recognize and appreciate the presence of God in their lives and consciously commit them-selves to bringing about the Reign of God. (NCD 35)

The preparation for and the celebrations of the sacraments, in particular the sacraments of initiation, should reflect all dimensions of faith formation. (NCD 117, 119, 121)

The “lived Christian faith” refers to the day-to-day Christian discipleship exhibited by the manner of life of the members of the Church in bringing about the Reign of God, engaging every aspect of people's lives, e.g., spiritual, personal, interpersonal, social, political, economic and ecological. (NCB 35, 150)

Faith formation and evangelization are intimately related, each giving life to and flowing from the other. (NCD #35)
Evangelization is both the privilege and the responsibility of all baptized people of God to proclaim (announce) through the power of the Holy Spirit, the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the world. (GMD Part I, p.2)
Evangelization is the unending task given to the Church by the Lord Jesus to stir and to stimulate all its actions until all nations have heard his Good News and until every person has become his disciple.(GMD Part I, p.5)
