Resurrection Leawood's Generation to Generation Capital Campaign
Throughout scripture, God calls one generation to pass on the faith to the next. Moses commanded the Israelites to teach their children of God’s deliverance and love. The Psalmist insists that the Israelites record their faith for a people yet unborn. Jesus was intentional about ministering to children. And, part of Paul’s focus was mentoring young leaders.
In this campaign, we’re seeking to ensure our buildings and programs faithfully connect with and care for all people of the church and community, from the oldest to the youngest. Thus, ensuring our ability to pass on the faith from generation to generation.
Resurrection Chapel Window and Sacred Elements
The focal point of the new chapel will be a 684 square-foot, stained-glass window. Through colored glass and light, the window will artistically depict the gospel story of Jesus walking on the water and calming the storms on the Sea of Galilee. For generations to come, this sacred work of art will remind people that Jesus comes to us in the darkness and in the storms, and when we invite him into the boat that is our lives, his presence brings us peace and hope. The window is being created by Tim Carey and Judson Studios, the artists who created the Resurrection Window in the sanctuary.
Funding for the window is separate from the Generation to Generation capital campaign. You have an opportunity to become a patron of this sacred art and contribute to the window in honor or memory of a loved one by purchasing a square inch ($14), a square foot ($2,000) or a panel ($30,000). Gifts of all amounts will be important to make the window a reality. The estimated cost of the window design, construction, shipping and installation is $1.2M, and any funds received beyond this amount will support other sacred elements, including the altar, lectern, baptismal font, crosses and baptism remembrance fountain.
The chapel and window are expected to be completed in the summer of 2026.

Generation to Generation
In 2020, Resurrection set several critical goals for the year 2030. Recognizing that fewer children, youth and young adults were going to church across the US and that 78% of all people who make a commitment to Christ do so before they are 19, one of these goals was to INVEST IN INTENTIONAL EFFORTS TO REACH EMERGING GENERATIONS AND THEIR FAMILIES.
A second goal was to ADDRESS THE MENTAL HEALTH NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY, which have skyrocketed among younger, and older generations.
To that end, we believe God is calling us to the following four goals:
- Create Spaces Where Students Know They Belong
- Create a Place for Care and Connection
- Create a Chapel for Weddings, Funerals and Worship
- Retire Debt, Redeploying Debt Service to Expanding Ministry
