Career

According to Haggard, his mentor Danny Ost, a missionary sent to Mexico City, had a vision of Haggard building his church in Colorado Springs in November 1984, when he was an assistant pastor at Bethany World Prayer Centre in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

As a result, Haggard relocated to Colorado and established New Life Church. Initially, Haggard’s church was started by 22 individuals who convened in the basement of his home, and it later expanded to rented locations in strip malls.

After 22 years on a site in northern Colorado Springs, New Life Church has a total of about $14,000 members. Haggard once travelled to Israel with a group in 1993, describing it as his “first prayer excursion”.

In November 2006, Haggard made the headlines when a male prostitute and masseur called Mike Jones said that Haggard, who had campaigned against same-sex marriage legislation, had paid him for sex for three years and had also bought and used crystal methamphetamine.

Shortly after the charges were made public, Haggard resigned from his position at New Life Church as well as his other leadership duties. Haggard later admitted to using drugs, engaging in some sexual activity with Jones, and having another affair with a young guy at New Life Church.

In October 2009, the Colorado Springs Independent released the first in-depth interview with Haggard in the secular press since the 2006 scandal. The former pastor discussed the controversy, his commitment never to return to New Life or the state of Colorado, suicidal thoughts, and the chance of forming a new church in Colorado Springs during the course of the interview.

On November 4, 2009, Haggard announced his intention to hold public prayer gatherings in his Colorado Springs home via his Twitter account. He began organizing prayer groups in his barn on December 7. The inaugural meeting of the new church, with Haggard as the pastor, was conducted at the Haggard house on June 6, 2010.

Time magazine named Haggard one of the top 25 most prominent evangelicals in America in 2005. Haggard was a staunch supporter of former US President George W. Bush, and is credited for mobilizing evangelicals to Bush’s side during the 2004 election.

Fighting global warming, according to Haggard, is a critical subject that divides Evangelical leaders. Despite his personal support for the Evangelical Climate Initiative, the NAE did not take a stand on the issue.
