Faith Formation & Christian Education [ What Is Faith Formation? ] While the staff of the FFE Unit of The United Church of Canada have chosen to use the term "faith formation" to describe what was formally known as Christian education, we are aware that "Christian education" is a term that continues to be used and have meaning for the majority of congregations. Some congregations use Christian development, while very few use faith formation. We acknowledge that while faith formation has meaning for those active in wider bodies of the church, it has little meaning for congregations. Education and understanding will need to continue while honouring the language that congregations understand. For this reason, we use both faith formation and Christian education.
