Brady Boyd was associate senior pastor and an elder at Morris’ Gateway Church when New Life was considering hiring him in 2007. According to court documents that Morris filed in his lawsuit against Gateway, when the New Life search committee was considering hiring Boyd, Clemishire’s sister alerted the committee about what had happened to her sister.
New Life reached out to Gateway about the allegations and was told that the elders knew about them but that Morris had been restored. After New Life hired Boyd, Morris was made an overseer of New Life Church.
On June 8, 2025, Boyd told attendees of New Life Church that Morris had deceived him and that he had no knowledge of the allegations that Morris had committed abuse. “I was lied to,” Boyd said.
“I worked alongside him. I had no reason to believe he had any kind of character issues,” said Boyd. “He did confide in me he’d had a moral failure when he was 20 years old. That’s really all the details he shared.”
However, a subsequent statement from the New Life Church elders said that they believed Boyd’s claim of ignorance about Clemishire’s age “to be inaccurate.”
“Brady also made statements in his public address to the congregation on June 8 that the board of elders know to be inaccurate,” they said.
“Brady had nothing to do with Robert Morris’ past abuse. Still, we believe that trust is the currency of leadership,” said the statement. “When Brady recently told our congregation inaccurately that he was unaware of certain details regarding Morris’ past abuse, trust was broken, and the elders asked Brady to resign.”
Brady Boyd Announces New Wednesday Services
One month after leaving New Life, the Boyds launched Psalm 68 Ministries, a Colorado Springs-based ministry focused on humanitarian projects and supporting hurting pastors. The ministry takes its name from Psalm 68:5-6a.
“We plan on basing out of Colorado Springs and will be operating under the authority of the elders of Trinity Fellowship Church in Amarillo, TX,” Boyd said in a Facebook post on July 22. “Ironically, the Lord led us there in the 1990’s when we had been spiritually bruised and needed healing. Once again, this beautiful congregation has provided us with an oasis of friendship and wisdom.” Trinity Fellowship Church elders oversee donations to Psalm 68 Ministries, which are “100% tax deductible.”
A message from the Boyds on Psalm 68 Ministries’ Facebook page says, “Pam and I are at a loss for words in expressing our deepest gratitude for the unwavering love and support you’ve shown us during this challenging time in our lives.”
“In nearly three decades of ministry, we’ve never encountered such a severe attack,” said the couple, “and it was your unwavering love, prayers, encouragement, and kindness that sustained us through this difficult period.”
ChurchLeaders reached out to Brady Boyd for clarification on whether the new Wednesday services should be understood as church services.
