One month after leaving New Life Church in Colorado Springs, Colorado, Brady and Pam Boyd announced a venture called Psalm 68 Ministries. The project—with a name referencing God’s heart for orphans, widows, the lonely, and prisoners—began in the Boyds’ home in June.
Saying their “calling to serve…remains alive and active,” the couple indicated they “want to complete our ministry careers caring for the people Jesus always sees but are often forgotten by society.” Projects include building a high school in Guatemala, bringing food and water to a community in Nicaragua, and constructing a church and water wells in the Dominican Republic.
Psalm 68 Ministries also will provide “personal and tactical coaching” to pastors—“especially those who have been wounded by the rigors of ministry.” Brady Boyd indicated that financial gifts to Psalm 68 will “allow me to continue preaching at churches around the world.”
The new ministry is based in Colorado Springs and operates under the authority of elders at Trinity Fellowship Church in Amarillo, Texas. “Ironically, the Lord led us [to Trinity] in the 1990s when we had been spiritually bruised and needed healing,” the Boyds wrote.
Donations to Psalm 68 Ministries, overseen by elders at Trinity Fellowship, “will allow us to complete the kingdom assignment we have been honored to follow our entire lives,” the Boyds said.
Post-New Life, Brady and Pam Boyd Begin New Ministry
In June, Brady Boyd resigned as New Life’s senior pastor amid allegations that he knew about alleged sex abuse perpetrated by disgraced former Pastor Robert Morris. Before coming to New Life in 2007, Boyd served at Morris’ Gateway Church in Southlake, Texas. Although Boyd said Morris had confessed a prior “moral failure,” Boyd denied knowing that a 12-year-old girl was the alleged victim.
Last year, Cindy Clemishire accused Morris of sexually abusing her in the 1980s, beginning when she was 12 and he was in his early 20s. Although Morris claimed he had told Gateway’s elder board—of which Boyd was a member—those details by 2005, Boyd has denied knowing Clemishire’s age.
On June 8, Boyd told New Life congregants, “I was deceived. I was lied to. I worked alongside [Morris]. I had no reason to believe he had any kind of character issues.” After elders at the nondenominational megachurch asked Boyd to resign, some supporters rallied around him.
In a June 29 handout to congregants, New Life elders announced additional resignations and said they consider Brady Boyd to be unrepentant and disqualified from ministry.
Pam Boyd had served as women’s ministry pastor at New Life, and by early July her name had been removed from the church’s website.
