Robert Morris Resigns as Gateway Church Pastor
Elders Confirm Allegations of Inappropriate Sexual Behavior
Morris Admits to Past Misconduct
Gateway Church elders have confirmed that founding pastor Robert Morris engaged in inappropriate sexual behavior, leading to his resignation. The accusations were brought forth by a woman who claimed Morris began inappropriate behavior when she was 21 years old.
Morris has admitted to the misconduct, which he said occurred decades ago. He has apologized for his actions and expressed remorse for the pain he caused.
Gateway Church, which has multiple campuses in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, has appointed interim pastors to lead the congregation while they search for a permanent replacement for Morris.
The resignation of Morris is a significant event for Gateway Church, which he founded in 1999. Morris was a prominent figure in the evangelical community and served as a faith adviser to former President Donald Trump.
The allegations of sexual misconduct have shaken the Gateway Church community and raised questions about the accountability of church leaders. The church has pledged to conduct a thorough review of its policies and procedures to ensure that such behavior does not occur in the future.
