Church of the Resurrection is the church home of former Kansas governor Mark Parkinson and former Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Trent Green. It is ranked #9 in the "Top 10 U.S. Churches to learn from that are influencing other churches" and #16 in the "Top 26 U.S. Churches to learn from in all areas" by Churchrelevance.com. According to the church website, Church of the Resurrection was listed as the most influential mainline church in America in a 2005 survey of American pastors.
The Church of the Resurrection's senior pastor is Reverend Adam Hamilton, who planted the congregation in 1990. Hamilton is committed to the renewal of the mainline church, especially the United Methodist Church. The Church of the Resurrection has a three-fold focus: 1. Reaching non-religious and nominally religious people and helping them become committed followers of Jesus Christ; 2. Equipping and inspiring members to live their faith in mission to the community and world; and 3. Acting as a catalyst for renewing the mainline church.
In a money-saving plan, the United Methodist Saint Paul School of Theology moved its facilities from Kansas City, Missouri to the Church of the Resurrection beginning in the Fall of 2013.
In 2014, the church announced plans to build a new sanctuary which will include a large stained glass window, to be titled The Resurrection Window. Plans are to complete the building and window by Easter 2017.
