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.〔(Churchrelevance.com ) "Top Churches to Watch in America" January 1, 2010〕 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. ==Image gallery== File:United Methodist Church of the Resurrection (interior 1).JPG|COR Journey: "Knowing, Loving, and Serving God" File:United Methodist Church of the Resurrection (interior 2).JPG|KidsCOR check-in center (after hours) File:Church of the Resurrection (interior 2).JPG|Interior lobby of the main building File:United Methodist Church of the Resurrection (Firestone Chapel).JPG|Firestone Chapel File:United Methodist Church of the Resurrection (Expansion Model).JPG|Model of possible church expansion File:United Methodist Church of the Resurrection (Bookstore).JPG|Church bookstore File:Wesley Covenant Chapel, Church of the Resurrection.JPG|Wesley Covenant Chapel, view from south entrance.
