Bishop T.D. Jakes has announced that the position of senior pastor of the Potter’s House in Dallas will be transferred to his daughter, Sarah Jakes Roberts, and son-in-law after 30 years of leadership.
The New Senior Pastors of Potters House
Jakes, with his wife Serita Jakes by his side, named Pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts and Sarah’s husband, Pastor Touré Roberts, as the new senior pastors of the church during Sunday’s service.
The couple will begin their new roles in July. Jakes will remain on the Potter’s House Board of Directors.
‘As your pastor-elect, co-senior pastor elect, I’m grateful, I’m honored as your daughter,’ Jakes Roberts said, fighting through tears as she embraced her father.
Did T.D Jakes Suffer Heart Attack?
Last year in November, Jakes suffered a heart attack during a morning service at Potter’s House, which was captured live on video. It was questioned whether he’d return.
‘I cannot afford, especially after November, to risk something happening to me, and you be sheep without a shepherd,’ Jakes said during the announcement Sunday.
