Bishop T.D. Jakes, 67, experienced what his church termed a “slight health incident” while delivering a sermon on Sunday. During the service at The Potter’s House, the nondenominational Christian church he leads in Dallas, Texas, he was seen pausing and appearing to shake as congregants rushed to his side, as shown in footage shared on social media.
In a statement via Jakes’ official account on X, The Potter’s House assured the public that he received “immediate medical attention” following the incident. The statement confirmed that Bishop Jakes is currently stable and is being monitored by medical professionals.
Prior to the sermon, he had appeared in an Instagram post to promote the service scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. CT. The Potter’s House, which was established in 1996, boasts a membership exceeding 30,000.
As this is an evolving situation, updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
