A month after being forced to resign from a Colorado megachurch for “inaccurate” statements about his knowledge of Robert Morris’s child sexual abuse, Brady Boyd has launched a new ministry—and is taking donations.
Boyd announced the ministry, called Psalm 68 Ministries, in a post to a private “Support Brady Boyd” Facebook group on Monday. The group was founded on June 21, soon after Boyd resigned as senior pastor of New Life Church in Colorado Springs.
According to Boyd’s post, Psalm 68 Ministries is named after “a Psalm that has been a life verse for us the past 36 years of marriage and ministry.”
Psalm 68:5-6 talks about God being a “father to the fatherless, a defender of widows,” Boyd wrote, “We want to complete our ministry careers caring for the people Jesus always sees but are often forgotten by society.”
This includes pastors “who have been wounded by the rigors of ministry”; kids in developing countries, like Guatemala and the Dominican Republic; and those needing clean drinking water, education, and medical services in Central and South America.”

Psalm 68 Ministries will also “allow me to continue preaching at churches around the world,” Boyd added. His wife, Pam, will co-lead it.
However, it was Boyd’s alleged failure to act on behalf of Cindy Clemishire whom his friend, Robert Morris, had sexually molested as a child — and then lying about it — that cost Boyd his job.
As The Roys Report (TRR) first reported, court documents filed by Morris—the disgraced founder of Dallas-based Gateway Church—indicate that Boyd knew about Morris’s sexual abuse by at least 2007. Prior to coming to New Life, Boyd was the senior associate pastor at Gateway, under Morris.
Despite his alleged knowledge of Morris’s abuse, Boyd made Morris an overseer at New Life and frequently invited Morris to speak at the church.
After our report published, Boyd characterized the allegation as an “attack of the enemy” and insisted he didn’t know until 2024 that Morris had sexually abused Clemishire, beginning when she was just 12 years old.
“I would never ever put a known pedophile in a place of authority in this church. Never, would I ever do that to you—ever!” Boyd told the congregation on June 8.
But soon after Boyd made those statements, New Life’s elders were given information that Boyd “was party to at least 20 emails relating to Ms. Clemishire’s abuse,” a church document stated. It added that Boyd “interacted extensively with those emails, and that many of the emails stated in the subject line the allegation that Ms. Clemishire was 12 at the time.”
The document also stated that meeting notes and email records confirm that Boyd met with the New Life pastoral search committee in 2007 and discussed the accusations made by Clemishire’s sister for weeks. Clemishire’s sister, Karen Black, confirmed to TRR that she had informed that same search committee in 2007 that Morris had molested her sister from the time she was 12 to 17.
Soon after this information came to light, the elders demanded that Boyd resign. A few weeks later, two church executives who hired Boyd were also forced out.
TRR reached out to Black for comment on Boyd’s new ministry venture.
She replied, “According to Psalm 68 (which talks about God scattering and crushing His enemies), I’m curious to know whom Brady considers his enemies. Is it those of us who speak truth?”
“Perhaps ‘his’ ministry should be John 8:44,” she added. (John 8:44 talks about belonging to the devil, “the father of lies.”)
“Psalm 68 seems inaccurate. Allowing a pedophile to be an overseer is never ever, never ever, never considered a protector of orphans and widows!” Black stated.
Trinity Fellowship and Jimmy Witcher support Boyd
Boyd says his new ministry will be based in his Colorado Springs home but will operate “under the authority of the elders of Trinity Fellowship Church in Amarillo, TX.”
Boyd was on staff at Trinity in the 1990s and remains an apostolic elder there. Trinity is also where Jimmy Evans, who previously served as an elder at Gateway with Boyd, pastored for three decades. Evans also serves as an apostolic elder at Trinity.
As reported earlier by TRR, court documents filed by Morris indicate that Jimmy Evans also knew about Morris’s abuse of Clemishire by 2007. According to a 2007 email from then-Gateway elder Tom Lane to other elders, Evans attended a meeting in 2007 with Morris and other elders and pastors to discuss the allegations Black made to New Life’s search committee.
Evans also went with Morris in 2007 to speak with Clemishire’s Oklahoma pastor after Clemishire informed her pastor about Morris’s abuse.
Despite these facts, Trinity Fellowship Senior Pastor Jimmy Witcher seems unfazed. At a question-and-answer time with his congregation a few weeks ago, Witcher stated, “We can find . . . no disqualifying conduct that Brady committed. Therefore, Brady continues to be a friend and an apostolic elder of Trinity Fellowship. I’m proud to call him a friend and I’m proud to call him an apostolic elder.”
Witcher also said he had spoken to the overseers at New Life about the situation with Boyd. These overseers are Greg Surratt, president of the scandal-plagued Association of Related Churches (ARC), and Larry Stockstill, founder of Bethany Church in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Stockstill was also an overseer at New Life in 2007, and documents suggest he too was informed about Morris’s abuse of Clemishire at that time.
Witcher told his congregation: “I reached out to them in this process, as well—just basically saying, ‘Hey, is there—you know, just as a matter of due diligence—is there something I’m not seeing?’ and ‘Are we missing something?’ And both of them said ‘Absolutely not.’”
TRR reached out to Trinity and Witcher for comment but did not hear back prior to publication.
In addition to providing oversight, Trinity Fellowship is receiving donations for Boyd’s ministry, so all gifts are tax-deductible.
A search of both Colorado and Texas businesses did not find a listing for Psalm 68 Ministries. Psalm 68 Ministries also is not listed with the IRS as a tax-exempt organization.

Wow! Boyd moves faster than Driscoll.
Boyd and Evans are snakes that run through the pit of deceit. It would be wise to research Wichter’s background at Trinity. You may find more common infractions all three men have by verifying strong similarities. “Birds of a feather flock together!”.
“Psalm 68 Ministries will also ‘allow me to continue preaching at churches around the world,’ Boyd added.”
Translation: your money will pay for my travel across the globe.
No time for remorse or reflection. Does the world need your preaching? Instead, rinse and repeat what worked in the past.
Thanks, Julie, for this post. It’s as important and informative as previous articles because it demonstrates a cycle of behavior among certain men.
A mission statement for a new venture focused on raising money for pastors “wounded by the rigors of ministry”……namely himself…..and other various “causes” designed to make it sound legit. Narcissism runs deep with this group.
Despite all the evidence, this guy is sure to get hundreds if not thousands of “parishioners” coming to hear him speak and giving him their hard-earned money. The gullible you shall always have with you.
It is really sad that Boyd does not see any need for apologies and repentance, given that he has been lying, or, at best, misleading.
I was also puzzled by the reference to Psalm 68 given the contents of the Psalm which don’t seem at all appropriate.
You are too charitable Andrew. I don’t see how anything he claimed could be construed as “misleading”. Lying it was and lying it is.
“who have been wounded by the rigors of ministry” ?
Where there’s a will there’s a way. May not be God’s will, but oh well. I have often over the years wondered how many preachers/pastors are really saved. Many things can choke the word and then they’re left with nothing. Goes for anyone.
I’ve asked myself that same question Kathy. Are they even saved?
In an age when funding for schools, food assistance, and healthcare is being chainsawed, clawed back, and defunded here in the United States of America, wouldn’t it be something if Brady Boyd’s new Christian ministry focused on making sure that kids and families in America had access to fully funded public education, food, and healthcare?
Hear what you’re saying, but education, national health care, aged and child care and public services should be the responsibility and funding of the federal and state goverments and agencies who US citizens elect. Not outsourced to unelected businesses, organisations and churches. Like most things in life, not perfect, but works well in other parts of the world.
Time to put the horse before the cart. 🤔
Wow! A new record of one month. Usually these Pastors wait a few years, tell us about their “Desert Experience” along with their successful restoration process before they jump back in.
Boyd just knew the world needed him to complete their ministry.
More “good ol’ boys” club working in conjunction with each other, covering each other’s sorry backsides.
I’ve heard the term Evangelical Crony Network and it seems quite appropriate.
Does nobody in American Christianity have any discernment or common sense. Cec merz is right. These are barely tolerable scamvanglists looking for a free ride for fun in the sun. Matt 7:21-23
Someone asked me what I thought about Brady Boyd launching a new ministry just a month after being relieved of his duties. I said: “Sometimes, it might be better to take a step back—maybe even get a job at Walmart. Or, like General Douglas MacArthur, who after being relieved of command said, ‘I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty. Goodbye.’ There’s a quiet strength in knowing when it’s time to fade away.”
Good point but, there is no money in fading away. That seems to be what this is about.
Yup, no lessons learned
Especially for the local Colorado springs pastor who Brady replatformed and didn’t bother to research what that pastor did. Shows as longs as you are part of the good ole boys club, you’ll land on your feet. But the Facebook group supporting Brady can keep denying the truth
This is one of the unfortunate symptoms of the Christianity Inc. culture that thrives in America. Ethics and morals take a backseat to the church thriving numerically as a business.
Scandal after scandal has affected megachurches on a world wide basis..As the church grows..Needing more money because of high overhead should be a wake up call for a christian attending a megachurch..With this growth, power, greed and influence grows..Sin runs rampant..It is sad to see this..
Am I the only one who thinks that this “plan” from Brady Boyd is unfocused? Ministering to children is far removed from drilling for potable water and then distributing it in Second and Third World countries.
And those two initiatives are far removed from enabling Boyd to preach around the world, or to help pastors wounded by the rigors of ministry. This plan of his seems slapdash at best.
Certainly Boyd must have savings and investments from being the head megachurch pastor for 15 years at New Life plus a lead associate pastor at another megachurch for a number of years before that. He should use those savings to live and contemplate whether he should even be in ministry anymore.
Remember the cliche “When someone shows you who they are, believe them?” Discernment is to pay close attention to what is before you in words and/or actions. Boyd states, “Who have been wounded by the rigors of ministry,” and I can’t help but feel two things: 1) This is a slap in the face to every victim as he announces he is back on top again, therefore he is guilty of absolutely nothing, and 2) Reading between its lines of wounded, rigors, ministry – I see an open call invitation to all “allegedly” male predatory pastors, elders, deacons, etc. that Boyd has created a SAFE PLACE for them to be seen, heard, and taken care of. Brady Boyd, please remove the veil from your mirror and take a good, long, hard look at yourself. What? What is that you say? You can’t do that?
New Life’s leadership has got to have one of the worst track records when it comes to picking pastors. Yet the faithful sheeples in Colorado Springs keep on keeping on. Apparently, they are immune to learning.
