LITERATURE REVIEW
After researching the culture and language of the ancient Near East in the fifteenth century B.C. concludes Peter J. Wellum that “the image of God” conveys two main ideas: dominion and sonship.8 “Image” refers to the horizontal aspect of the covenant relationship, while “likeness” refers to the vertical aspect. Scripture also shows us ethical beauty: “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace.
In other words, “The principles of Christian axiology are drawn from the Bible, which in its ultimate sense is a revelation of the character and values of God.”59. Teachers, curriculum and students are the key parties in the assessment process that determines the cause and effect of curriculum design. The behavioral aspect of identity refers to the observable components of the identity formation process, what others can see of another.

After gathering all the participating experts, the research started with the first round of the Delphi study, allowing free scope for experts to elaborate on issues
Twenty experts from the United States and China were first contacted by email and invited to participate in the study.1 Thirteen of these individuals responded that they were willing to participate in the study and confirmed that their qualifications met the requirements of this research. After collecting all participating experts, the research started with the first round of the Delphi study, in which experts were given plenty of room to work out cases. A pilot study was set up to answer any questions and improve understanding of the survey.4 After the pilot study, the first round of questionnaires was completed.
The experts had two weeks to complete the questionnaire and send the document back before June 17, 2022. Emails or information from Chinese experts were handled by a Chinese elder who lives in the US and is not bound by Chinese security laws. The 1st round questionnaire was completed by 11 of the 13 participants who previously agreed to participate in the research.
Two who did not complete the questionnaire requested to be excluded from the study due to time commitment.
The round 2 survey was developed based on the round 1 results
During this step, Cronbach's alpha was used as "a measure of internal consistency, that is, how closely related a set of items is as a group."5 The range of alpha is 0-1, and most scientific research provided indications of alpha with a threshold as an acceptable level and "this was usually seen as ≥0.70."6 Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) was used to conduct the pilot testing because Cronbach Alpha is one of several possible approaches in SPSS. 7 In addition, "SPSS identifies what the Alpha classification will be if a particular item is deleted. After the pilot testing and data analysis of the Round 2 survey, seven themes that were inherently at odds with other themes were eliminated.9 100 statements remained after the pilot testing process.

Due to the lack of variation in expert responses, survey results were analyzed directly using Cronbach Alpha.11 In addition, to verify data reliability and expert consensus, the statements in round 3 also completed the following. After removing all items that did not reach consensus and items that reduced the reliability of the survey, 88 statements were retained.
According to the data analysis, the statements in this round of the survey were the consensus reached by the experts in the round 2 survey.

CONCLUSIONS
The specific goals and objectives of the curriculum for educators to disciple public school adolescents in Chinese house churches were listed under each module in the curriculum design (see Appendix 15). To better implement the curriculum in Chinese urban house churches, the curriculum provided a solid theological foundation for Christian education, containing the ultimate truth of God. In addition, the curriculum aimed to explore the understanding of education in the Chinese context, its impact and the characteristics of Chinese public school youth.
Another thing that needs to be improved, fixed or even removed in the future is the "Learning Style Theory" section of the curriculum. To help teachers who will use the curriculum better understand the core of the curriculum and use it effectively, the curriculum designer must provide basic training to users. Next, the curriculum must be initially modified based on the results of the existing curriculum evaluation results.
After that, the curriculum will be used in a partial form with a small group of people.
