Robert Morris, the former senior pastor of Gateway Church in Dallas, has recently come under scrutiny following allegations of sexual abuse. The Oklahoma Attorney General’s Office reported that Morris abused a girl over several years during the 1980s. These revelations have sparked significant media attention and public outrage, leading to calls for accountability within the church community.
Morris founded Gateway Church in 2000, which has grown into one of the largest megachurches in the United States, known for its contemporary worship style and extensive outreach programs. He has authored several books and is a prominent figure in the evangelical community, often speaking at conferences and events. His leadership and teachings have influenced many, but the recent allegations have cast a shadow over his legacy and raised questions about the church's response to such serious accusations.
