Sarah Jakes and Touré Roberts installed as Senior Pastors of Potter’s House

Sarah Jakes Roberts and her husband Touré Roberts were officially installed as Senior Pastors of Potter’s House, Dallas, recently.

The church was founded by international preacher and speaker TD Jakes 29 years ago and is said to have 30,000 members.

Thousands packed into the church to witness this spiritual changing of the guard.

Dr Cindy Trimm preached the message, which was entitled ‘The Last Sermon: Leadership Redefined.’ She praised Bishop Jakes’ legacy; described his wife, Serita, as his backbone; called Touré Roberts “a builder of nations”; and said Sarah Jakes “empowered women with her boldness and vulnerability.”

At the end of the service, Sarah and Touré were anointed with oil and blessed by Bishop Jakes. Afterwards he presented them to the congregation amid rapturous applause.

Though he has stepped down from leading Potter’s House, Bishop Jakes will continue in his role as chairman of the TD Jakes Group, which includes his real estate company, social impact holding company, and the TD Jakes Foundation, which carries out charitable work across the globe.
