In May 1996, Jakes moved his family and 50 other families from West Virginia to establish the Potterâs House in Dallas. The present church is on the 28-acre site where the old Eagleâs Nest Church of television evangelist W. V. Grant had been. This site cost $3.2 million.
A prolific revivalist, conference leader and Christian entrepreneur, he has written dozens of books on spiritual, women's, self-help and relational topics. One of them, Woman, Thou Art Loosed (1993), about domestic abuse and other difficulties, became a commercially relased film in 2004. The Potter's House is nondenominational, but Jakes is listed as vice-prelate of Higher Ground Always Abiding Assemblies, an Ohio-based national network of congregations.
