Gateway Church Founding Pastor Robert Morris Resigns Following Sexual Abuse Allegations

Pastor Morris Accused of Sexual Abuse

Gateway Church founding pastor Robert Morris has resigned days after he was accused of sexual abuse. The allegations were made by a woman who claims that Morris sexually abused her when she was a teenager.

Morris has denied the allegations, but he has resigned from his position as pastor of Gateway Church. He has also stepped down from his position as president of the Southern Baptist Convention.

The allegations against Morris are still under investigation. However, the allegations have cast a shadow over his ministry and the Southern Baptist Convention.

Morris's Resignation

Morris's resignation is a significant development in the Southern Baptist Convention. Morris is one of the most prominent leaders in the SBC, and his resignation is a sign that the SBC is taking the allegations against him seriously.

The SBC is the largest Protestant denomination in the United States. The SBC has been struggling with sexual abuse allegations for years, and Morris's resignation is a sign that the SBC is finally starting to address the problem.

The Future of Gateway Church

It is unclear what the future holds for Gateway Church. Morris was the founding pastor of Gateway Church, and his resignation is a major loss for the church.

Gateway Church is one of the largest churches in the United States. The church has over 30,000 members, and it is located in Southlake, Texas.

It is unclear who will replace Morris as pastor of Gateway Church. The church is currently being led by a team of interim pastors.
