Robert Morris, founder of Gateway Church in Texas has been accused of past abuse of a girl who was twelve at the time. In episode 240 we react to a video from CBN News where the accuser, Cindy Clemishire, now 54, describes her experiences then and now as this story continues to build and develop. Four members of the Gateway Church Board of Elders, including Robert Morris's son are taking temporary leaves of absence as an outside legal team investigates the sexual abuse of a child accusations against Pastor Robert Morris.
Gateway Church is a non-denominational, evangelical Christian multi-site megachurch based in Southlake, Texas, near Fort Worth. As of 2023, it was ranked as the 9th largest in the United States, with an attendance of 25,805. In 2024, its founding pastor, Robert Morris, resigned after allegations of past sexual abuse of a minor. His son, James Morris, is the Associate Senior Pastor and was set to take over next year.
Why does this type of abuse keep happening in the Church and what can be done to mitigate it? Let us know what you think.
