The United Methodist Church of the Resurrection is a congregation of the United Methodist Church[1]. The main campus is located in Leawood, Kansas with satellite campuses in Olathe, Kansas, downtown Kansas City, Missouri & Blue Springs, Missouri.[2]

It is the largest United Methodist congregation in the United States, with a membership of over 18,000 adults and children,[3] and 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.[4] 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.
