A Legacy of Faith: Bishop T.D. Jakes Passes the Mantle
Bishop T.D. Jakes has officially passed the leadership of The Potter’s House in Dallas, Texas, to his daughter, Sarah Jakes Roberts, and her husband, Touré Roberts. The transition marks a new chapter for the church, which Jakes founded in 1996. During the installation service, Jakes anointed the new co-senior pastors, saying, “Remember always that Jesus came not to be served, but to serve.” This momentous occasion comes after months of preparation and announcement, and it’s clear that Jakes is committed to ensuring a smooth transition.
A New Era of Ministry
As Jakes steps back from the senior pastor role, he will continue to serve as chairman of the T.D. The elder Jakes is known for his dynamic preaching and his commitment to social justice, and he has built a legacy that will undoubtedly continue to inspire and uplift people around the world. Sarah Jakes Roberts and Touré Roberts are both accomplished ministers in their own right, and they bring a fresh perspective and energy to the role.
A Future of Innovation and Impact
The transition is not just a passing of the torch but a multiplication of impact. Jakes emphasized that leadership is dynamic and demands the courage to evolve. With their combined experience and passion, the new co-senior pastors are poised to lead The Potter’s House into a new era of innovative ministry and community engagement. As the church celebrates its 29th anniversary, it’s clear that this moment marks not an ending but an expansion, and the future looks bright for The Potter’s House and its congregation
