Pastor Robert Morris of Gateway Church in Southlake, Texas, has announced an unconventional location for the church's newest campus: The state's largest prison.

He then shared a video 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.
