Dallas,Tex. Church Opens Campus in a Prison; Over 500 Men at Prison Vow to Follow Christ

Pastor Robert Morris of Gateway Church in Dallas, Texas announced this week that the state's largest prison is the location of the church's newest campus, the Christian Post website reports today (February 5, 2019).

Morris shared a video with his congregation on Sunday revealing that in November, the church launched a new campus at the Coffield Unit in Anderson County, which houses over 4,000 criminal offenders. More than 650 inmates attended the megachurch's first service, and over 500 men made decisions to follow Jesus.

Morris revealed that Stephen Wilson, an ex-offender who went to seminary school and has been ministering in prisons for years, will serve as the Gateway Coffield campus pastor.

"We welcome you guys and we love you. We are your brothers and sisters in Christ," Morris said amid applause. "We're excited that we have a campus there now."
