Bishop T.D. Jakes, one of the most well-known pastors and leaders in the Christian community, is passing the leadership of The Potter’s House to the next generation. In a powerful and emotional moment, he announced that his daughter, Pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts, and her husband, Pastor Toure Roberts, will now lead the Dallas-based megachurch.
Bishop Jakes founded The Potter’s House in 1996, and it has grown into one of the largest and most influential churches in the United States. Known for his powerful preaching, books, and conferences, Bishop Jakes has touched millions of lives around the world. Now, after decades of leadership, he is choosing to step back and trust his daughter and son-in-law to continue the church’s mission.

She and Toure Roberts have built a strong following with their ministry work, and many believe they are the perfect leaders to carry The Potter’s House into the future.
Bishop Jakes said he is confident that the church is in good hands and that God has prepared them for this moment.
