After much change in leadership within the past few months, Gateway Church has a new pastor stepping up on Sunday mornings once again. 

After the founder and former pastor of Gateway Church in Southlake, Texas, Robert Morris, confessed to sexually abusing a 12-year-old girl back in the 80s, he quit his job on June 18, 2024. Filling in the gap, Morris' son, James, took the pastoral position shortly after. 

A family of four is grateful to a young adult from Connecticut who sprang into action when their house was on fire.

Matthew 18:21-35

I'll forgive...but I'll never forget. We say and hear that so much that it's easy to shrug it off as "only natural." That's the problem! It is the most natural response we can expect. Not supernatural. It also can result in tragic consequences.
