New Life Church Nominates New Leader
August 1, 2007 5:09 PM
The evangelical megachurch in Colorado Springs has spent the last eight months looking for a replacement for Ted Haggard, who was dismissed in November after admitting to buying drugs and having a questionable relationship with a male prostitute.
New Life claims a membership of more than 10,000 people. Its pastoral selection committee has chosen Brady Boyd to take over as senior pastor. Boyd is currently an associate senior pastor at Gateway Church in Southlake, Texas. An email to New Life members from the head of its selection committee says Boyd has strong leadership gifts, significant experience and training in senior pastoral ministry, and a passion for teaching the Scriptures. The email describes him as "a man of character, proven experience, and good reputation."
