Morris founded Gateway Church in 2000. Today, the church is one of the largest evangelical churches in the country, with more than 10 locations and an average weekly attendance of 100,000.
On Tuesday (June 18), Gateway Church’s elders announced Morris had resigned and shared that although they were aware that Morris was involved in an “extramarital relationship” prior to starting Gateway Church, they were unaware it involved a 12-year-old child.
Clemishire refuted the Gateway Church elders’ claim, saying that the leadership at Gateway Church “received actual notice of this crime” when she sent an email directly to Robert Morris’ Gateway email address. Clemishire indicated that “former Gateway elder Tom Lane received and responded to my email, acknowledging that the sexual abuse began on December 25, 1982, when I was 12 years old.”
