Bishop TD Jakes is stepping down as lead pastor of The Potter’s House after nearly 30 years, handing leadership to his daughter, Sarah Jakes Roberts, and her husband.
- TD Jakes officially transferred leadership during a Sunday service.
- His daughter Sarah and her husband Touré Roberts will now lead the megachurch.
- Jake described the transition as the start of a "new era" for the ministry.
- The Bishop assured members he isn't retiring fully, but stepping back from lead pastoring.
- The Potter’s House grew into one of America’s biggest churches under his leadership.
This is more than just a handover; it’s a generational shift that shows how spiritual leadership is evolving. TD Jakes is trusting his family to continue his legacy, but also signalling it’s time for fresh voices. Sarah’s own rise in ministry reflects a broader move towards younger, more relatable church leadership — especially in a world hungry for new ways to connect faith with modern life.
Big shoes to fill — but new chapters often bring new blessings. Will the next generation reshape megachurch culture, too?
