COLORADO SPRINGS – When Pastor Brady Boyd walks through the doors of New Life Church Tuesday morning, he will begin a new journey in his life and will start a new chapter for members of his congregation.

On Monday, 95% of members for the north side mega church voted Pastor Boyd in as their Senior Leader. “This is a spiritual decision made by spiritual people,” says Boyd. “I’m excited about serving these people and leading New Life Church.”

The church has lost about of its congregation after allegation former Senior Pastor Ted Haggard had a three-year sexual affair with gay escort, Mike Jones. Jones also claimed Haggard used meth during their affair. Haggard was fired by the church and resigned from the National Association of Evangelicals after the claims surfaced.

Boyd tells NEWSCHANNEL 13 that his first official sermon will be about returning to “normal” and helping fix the churches damaged reputation.

“People will watch us and look in our doors to see if we are doing things well and that we are not making mistakes.” Boyd adds, “It’s not that we won’t make mistakes, but every morning we wake up, we need to do the right thing according to scripture and be men and women of integrity.”

Boyd says he knows it’s going to be hard, but he is dedicated to serving the community and helping others. “I’m here to serve others.”
