Gateway Church Faces Lawsuit Over Money-Back Guarantee on Tithes
Gateway Church, a prominent megachurch in Southlake, Texas, is facing a new legal challenge after four members filed a class action lawsuit alleging misuse of tithe money.
The lawsuit, filed by Katherine and Garry Leach, along with Mark and Terri Browder, claims that Gateway Church, under the leadership of disgraced founder Robert Morris and other top leaders, failed to honor promises of transparency and accountability regarding church funds. Specifically, the members allege the church did not allocate 15% of tithes to global missions and Jewish ministry partners, as previously stated.
The lawsuit accuses Gateway Church leaders, including Morris, former executive pastor Tom Lane, and current executive global pastor Kevin Grove, of fraud, misrepresentation and breach of contract. The plaintiffs argue that despite assurances from Morris that dissatisfied members could receive a refund of their tithes, these promises were not upheld. The legal filing states, “This lawsuit is about transparency, brought by members whose concern is not money in their pockets but rather biblical stewardship.”

Is Hurricane Milton the Prophetic Storm of This Century?
As we see more natural phenomena happening around us each day, we can look back at the forewarnings that just may have been given to the prophets about these coming storms.
Back on March 3, 2021, prophetic voice Charlie Shamp received a concerning dream, specifically about a storm that would hit the Tampa Bay area.
“I recently had a very concerning dream where I was taken in the spirit to the west coast of Florida,” Shamp writes. “It seemed that I was in the Saint Petersburg, Tampa Bay, Clearwater area. As I stood along the street the weather quickly began to change and a massive hurricane hit and flooding filled the streets. I along with many others were hit by a wall of water that went well over our heads. I quickly worked as hard as possible to get my head above water as I felt I was drowning.”
Hurricane Milton Now a Category 5, Florida Orders Evacuations
BELLEAIR BEACH, Fla. (AP) – Milton rapidly strengthened into a Category 5 hurricane Monday in the Gulf of Mexico on a path toward Florida, threatening a dangerous storm surge in Tampa Bay, leading to evacuation orders and long gas lines, and lending more urgency to the cleanup from Hurricane Helene, which swamped the same stretch of coastline less than two weeks ago.
A hurricane warning was issued for parts of Mexico’s Yucatan state, which expected to get sideswiped, and much of Florida’s west coast was under hurricane and storm surge watches. Florida’s Lake Okeechobee, which often floods during intense storms, was also under a hurricane watch.
“This is the real deal here with Milton,” Tampa Mayor Jane Castor said at a news conference. “If you want to take on Mother Nature, she wins 100% of the time.”
