Gateway Church is making headlines again after they let go of executive pastor Kemtal Glasgow due to a “moral issue.”

In an update to the Gateway community, elder Tra Willbanks gave the news about Glasgow’s exit from church leadership.

“As of Monday this week, Kemtal Glasgow is no longer employed at Gateway,” Willbanks said. “We were informed last week of a moral issue, which we believe as elders disqualifies him from serving in the role that he had at Gateway.”

Adana Wilson will take over Glasgow’s former position for Gateway Church. According to Gateway’s website, Wilson works as the campus pastor at Gateway’s Frisco site.

“What this does do is it makes a way for us now to promote Adana Wilson into overseeing the campus pastors. So, Adana effective yesterday, stepped into that role. We’re excited for Adana, Adana is going to be a perfect person to take on this responsibility, and she’s going to do terrific,” Willbanks said.

Willbanks concluded his message by asking the Gateway family to continue praying for the church, for the Glasgow family and for Wilson’s new role.

“I want to ask you to continue to pray for our family, pray for Kemtal and his family, pray for Adana and her family as she steps into this role as well with new responsibilities. We love you, and we do thank you for continuing to pray for us during this time,” Willbanks said.

When asked by the Christian Post what Glasgow’s moral issue was, the executive director of Gateway, Lawrence Swicegood, said that the problem had “nothing to do with the departure of Robert Morris nor related to those circumstances.”

Swicegood further told the Christian Post, “It recently came to light that Kemtal Glasgow had a moral failure, so we’ve asked him to step down as a pastor at Gateway and devote time to his marriage and family.”

This news come in light of another lawsuit that Gateway has found themselves entrenched in after claims that a 13-year-old was assaulted by another youth group member between 2016 and 2017 during youth group meetings Gateway held at The King’s University in Southlake. The Houston branch of Gateway, which is pastored by Robert Morris’ son-in-law, Ethan Fisher, also changed names to Newlands Church.

Currently, Max Lucado and Joakim Lundqvist have taken on temporary roles to help the church out in this time of need.
