In a deeply symbolic Sunday announcement, Bishop T.D. Jakes—globally recognized faith leader, cultural influencer and founder of The Potter’s House—unveiled his plans to appoint Pastors Touré Roberts and Sarah Jakes Roberts as senior pastors of the Dallas-based megachurch. This milestone moment signifies a sacred generational handoff within one of the world’s most influential churches, while affirming Bishop Jakes’ commitment to evolving ministry leadership for the future. Their appointment will happen later in 2025. Sunday’s announcement follows a season of profound transition for Jakes, including a widely publicized health emergency he suffered in November 2024, which he spoke about in detail during an exclusive on The TODAY show and the culmination of the International Leadership Summit (ILS), a signature global gathering he launched over two decades ago. Themed “Changing of the Guard,” this final ILS served as a prophetic prelude to this very moment. Held April 10–12, 2025, in Orlando, the summit gathered visionaries across industries and generations to address one of the most critical questions of our time: how do we prepare the next generation to lead? Jakes will remain Chairman of the Board and spiritual overseer of The Potter’s House, providing vision, counsel, and legacy leadership as the next generation steps into their senior pastoral roles. #BishopTDJakes #TDJakes #ThePottersHouse #TPH -------------------------------------------------------------- 💙 Be Part of Something Bigger Your generosity fuels real change!
