By: Feldman, Adam L.

"When Jesus saw his ministry drawing huge crowds, he climbed a hillside. Those who were apprenticed to him, the committed, climbed with him. Arriving at a quiet place, he sat down and taught his climbing companions. This is what he said..." (Matthew 5:1-2, The Message).The Sermon on the Mount has captivated the hearts and minds of Christ followers for two thousand years. This Doctor of Ministry thesis presents a philosophically missional spiritual formation curriculum that emerges out of the Sermon and is contextualized for Metanoia Church, a church plant in Ellicott City, Maryland. The thesis further highlights the importance for church plants and established churches desiring to make Kingdom impact to develop a comprehensive pathway for congregational spiritual formation.
