On Easter Sunday 2000, Morris launched Gateway Church at a hotel in Grapevine, Texas. The author of 14 books, all of which were taken from various sermon series, Morris and his wife Debbie are the parents of three children (two sons and one daughter) and nine grandchildren. He openly supports Christians being active in the public arena and was a member of President Donald Trump's Executive Council of Evangelical Leaders not surprisingly this has earned him enmity among liberal Christianity. Morris' show, Pastor Robert Morris Ministries, formerly The Blessed Life, airs regularly on both Trinity Broadcasting Network and Daystar Television Network – Daystar founders Marcus and Joni Lamb are Gateway members. During that year, Morris preached for Trinity Fellowship Network, an Amarillo-based network of Charismatic churches led by Jimmy Evans (better known for his XO Marriage ministry Evans also serves as one of Gateway's Senior Pastors). Though he grew up being taught to be wary of Charismatic doctrine, and attending two Southern Baptist colleges, though never earning a degree, after befriending former Baptist turned Charismatic evangelist James Robison, who now serves as an Apostolic Elder at Gateway, Morris became Charismatic and eventually served as an associate pastor at a local church before resigning one year prior to starting Gateway. He is the Founding Lead Senior Pastor of Gateway Church, a non-denominational Charismatic multi-site megachurch.Īlthough raised in a Christian home, called to the ministry at a young age, and married to a Christian woman, Morris – affectionately known by his congregation as Pastor Robert – was an illicit drug user and sexually promiscuous until genuinely giving his life to Christ at age 19.
Robert Preston Morris (born July 29, 1961) is an American pastor.
