#PASTOR ROBERT MORRIS SALARY SERIES#
↑ Morris reveals his testimony in a sermon series, Room 12, named for the room in Jake's Motel, a roadside inn in Kentucky, where he got saved the series can be viewed on the Gateway website.It also produces music through Gateway Worship notable songs include "Revelation Song" which was popularized by Phillips, Craig, and Dean, but originally performed by Kari Jobe (who grew up at Gateway her father is the campus pastor at Gateway's main Southlake location). Gateway also has three independent church plants: Gateway Church Scottsdale (in the Arizona suburb of the same name), Table Church (located in the Austin suburbs, led by Morris' oldest son Josh), and Gateway Church Houston, led by Morris' son-in-law Ethan Fisher.
Gateway holds multiple services each weekend at 11 locations, in addition to its main 4,000 seat campus in Southlake, Texas, it also has locations in North Richland Hills, North Fort Worth, North Dallas, Frisco, Grand Prairie, Plano, Prosper, Justin, and Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and five prison campuses (including one inside the Coffield Unit, the largest prison in the Texas prison system, which was its first). Gateway would open its original Southlake campus in June 2003 – the campus now hosts The King's University, a non-accredited Bible college started by Jack Hayford, which relocated from California in 2012 Morris serves as the Chancellor – and its current campus in November 2010.Īs of 2018, Gateway claims around 39,000 active members, which if accurate would make it one of the largest churches – denominational or non-denominational – in the United States. 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.
