## Resource

Former Gateway Church members Katherine and Garry Leach are pushing forward with their lawsuit over church finances, challenging a lower court’s dismissal that ruled federal courts can’t intervene in religious financial matters. Their appeal to the Fifth Circuit targets whether tithes were properly allocated and whether Pastor Greg Morris misled donors about repayment promises — claims he denies. Morris, who stepped down in 2024 amid sexual abuse allegations from the 1980s and later pleaded guilty in 2025, faces mounting legal and personal fallout as this high-stakes case continues to unfold.
