Things I Like:
I became a member of COR about 6 years ago. I've attended the Leawood, West & Downtown locations & watched online.
I've always thought Pastor Adam has done an excellent job in explaining the bible. I feel like I've gotten educated...not preached at.
Pastor Scott at the Downtown location also does a very good job conveying the sermon. The West location...I've only attended once...so I don't have an opinion for that location.

Things I Don't Like:
That I've never even had the opportunity to shake Pastor Adam's hand. After church is over he quickly leaves the sanctuary. I understand that because of the amount people that attend the sevices...if he stood around to shake people's hands...he'd be there until the next service started. That's one thing I find sad about when a church grows to this magnitude...the personal connection can get lost.
I emailed Pastor Adam one time after one of his sermons that really touched me(which I know probably goes to an assistant) because he probably gets bombarded with so many...I never got any response back...not even from an assistant. That was a real disappointment.
That Pastor Adam has became such of a celebrity....it looks as though he a Public Relations person responding to these post.
I haven't attended church in while...the attendance has grown so much at all the services...I just kind of feel like a number.

Things I Could Try & Do:
Try to find a Small Group (which I of find scary)
Find more ways to get/be involved.
Try put myself out there & make some friends

Pastor Adam Hamilton makes that church. People come there to hear his sermons and I know I have heard him say when I've been at services...telling the congregation not to come there for him, but without him...that church would not be what it is today.

Lastly the new sanctuary...is so large, I just feel it will be even harder to feel a personal connection.
It will be like watching Joel Osteen on T.V.
