Bishop TD Jakes, the founder of the Potter’s House Church, has announced that he will be stepping down from his leadership position, entrusting the church to his daughter, Sarah Jakes Roberts, and her husband, Touré Roberts.

At 67, Jakes, who established the non-denominational Christian church in 1996, expressed his intention to remain active in community work while transitioning from his current role.

“Today we shared with the world our long-held plans of purposeful evolution for The Potter’s House and our global church family.

“Preparing for this announcement over the past several years has allowed us as a family and a global church family to carefully balance the needs of our community worldwide and the pace at which we perform each step of our plan,” he posted on X.
