Catechesis

Imparting truth to live by and a way to live by it.

“Catechesis is imparting truth to live by and a way to live by it.” J. I. Packer

Catechesis (ka-tə-ˈkē-səs) is the Church's God-assigned task of grounding believers in Christ and in the foundations of the Christian faith. It is making disciples by teaching them all that Christ taught the apostles, and calling them to live in the light of that teaching.

"Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving."
Colossians 2:6-7

You can learn more details about the foundations of catechesis here.
