The Roys Report is a Christian investigative reporting media outlet founded by Julie Roys in 2018[1] and associated non-profit The Roys Report NFP in 2022.[2]
Roys, an evangelical Christian journalist who graduated from Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism, worked for Moody Radio from 2007 until she was fired in 2018 for publishing on the Roys Report an exposé of Moody Bible Institute that alleged financial mismanagement, theological drift, and a culture of intimidation.[3]
The Roys Report has reported on many stories that were later picked up by larger news organizations, such as reports of bullying by Northern Seminary's president William Shiell in 2023, who would later resign,[4] and of issues with International House of Prayer in Kansas City and its pastor, Mike Bickle.[5][6]
The Roys Report published a number of articles about Harvest Bible Chapel and its pastor, James MacDonald.[3] The Roys Report investigation of the Next Level Church in New Hampshire and its lead pastor Jeff Gagnon was followed by the resignation of Gagnon and other executives.[7] In March 2022, The Roys Report published an investigation implicating Grace Community Church and John MacArthur in the cover-up of domestic abuse.[8]
