📣 Church Members Rally Behind Ex-Pastor Brady Boyd
On Sunday, June 29, congregants gathered at New Life Church to publicly support former senior pastor Brady Boyd, who served the church since August 2007. The demonstration came in direct response to the church elders’ request on June 25 for Boyd’s resignation 

One congregant, Angie Ragsdale, defended Boyd as “a beautiful, wonderful, upstanding man of God” and asserted that his resignation—due to “somebody else’s issues from a long time ago”—was unjust. Many warned that this decision “may cause members to leave” 

🛑 Why He Was Asked to Resign
Elders concluded that Boyd misled the congregation about what he knew regarding Robert Morris’s sexual abuse of a 12-year-old, which took place in the 1980s and was tied to his time at Gateway Church in Texas.

Court documents revealed that Boyd was allegedly aware of Morris’s wrongdoing—but told New Life congregants otherwise until this month. The elders reported that Boyd’s statements during a June 8 service were “inaccurate,” eroding the trust essential for leadership 

📋 Timeline at a Glance
Date Event
June 17–21 New Life elders inform membership that Boyd knew about Morris’s abuse before hiring him
June 25 Church elders ask Boyd to resign after concluding he misrepresented the facts 
June 29 Members publicly support Boyd, expressing heartbreak and concern over church leadership decisions 
June 30 Demonstration receives media attention; Boyd’s supporters remain loyal.

🌱 What the Church Has Said
While the church board regrets their link to Morris and prays for “justice and healing” for the victim, they emphasized that restoring trust is necessary:

“Trust is the currency of leadership… when Boyd recently told our congregation inaccurately… trust was broken” 

A follow-up statement confirmed: “We deeply regret our association with Robert Morris,” and they continue to mourn, express gratitude for Boyd’s service, and look forward with hope for the future 

✅ Key Takeaways
Boyd is not accused of wrongdoing in the abuse itself; his removal stems from misleading the congregation about his knowledge.

Supporters are standing by him and some view his resignation as unfair, warning about possible fallout and member loss.

Leadership aims to rebuild integrity and accountability within the church.
