Description / Abstract

The researcher developed a “Curriculum for Christlikeness” for Keystone Nazarene Church, an English-speaking international congregation in Okinawa, Japan, using Dallas Willard’s approach to Jesus’s Sermon on the Mount from Matthew 5–7 as a biblical foundation for congregant character development. The curriculum was developed as a way of fulfilling the church’s mission statement of “Making Christlike Disciples” and in response to the reality that Christians often do not obey the teachings of Jesus or reflect his character. The twenty-four-week “Curriculum for Christlikeness” consisted of three curricular venues: the corporate worship service, a weekly guided reflection journal, and discipleship groups for discussion and accountability. The researcher used a mixed method approach to evaluate if congregant growth occurred and if higher engagement in the various curricular venues brought about more growth than lower engagement. Research data showed that implementation of the Curriculum of Christlikeness at Keystone Nazarene Church played a part in congregant character development in Christlikeness. The data also showed that higher participation across the three curricular venues generally led to greater perceived growth than lower participation.
