Robert Morris

Gateway Church announced Wednesday (August 14) that it has cancelled its annual Gateway Conference in light of the ongoing controversy surrounding Robert Morris.

Gateway Church announced on Wednesday (July 31) that it has parted ways with Steve Dulin, who served as the church’s Executive Pastor of Kingdom Business Leaders.

On Thursday (July 25), Gateway Church released a statement informing the public that James Morris, the son of Robert Morris, has resigned from his position at the church. James Morris' wife, Bridgette, has also resigned. 

Former Gateway Church pastor of Young Adults, Stephen LeBlanc, recently told local WFAA that he felt “betrayed” by the church’s founder, Robert Morris, for concealing his alleged sexual abuse of a 12-year-old girl in the 1980s.

Gateway Church leadership has more questions to answer in the wake of the resignation of senior pastor and founder Robert Morris amid allegations that he sexually abused a 12-year-old girl in the 1980s.

Gateway Church settled a sexual abuse lawsuit that involved a minor who was less than 12 years old exactly two months (April 18) prior to the resignation announcement (June 18) of the church’s founder, Robert Morris.

Pastor James Morris and his wife Bridgette received a standing ovation during Gateway Church’s worship service over the weekend after North Fort Worth and Online Campus Pastor Ben Pirtle voiced his appreciation for them during his sermon.

‘These actions demand public exposure, should never be tolerated, and any person who harms a child should and must be held accountable,’ said Texas state Rep. Nate Schatzline.
