DALLAS — Bishop T.D. Jakes, the senior pastor of The Potter's House in Dallas, is recovering in stable condition after experiencing a "slight health incident" after delivering a sermon Sunday, the church said in a statement. 

The Potter's House is a non-denominational mega church located near the Dallas Baptist University campus. Jakes leads a congregation of more than 30,000 at the Potter's House Church in Dallas. 

Along with serving as senior pastor, Jakes has advised three presidents and was a featured speaker at the inauguration of Barack Obama in 2009, according to the Potter's House website. 

Jakes received immediate medical attention after he delivered an hour-long message Sunday morning, the statement reads. 

He is in stable condition and is under the care of medical professionals, according to the church. 

"The entire Potter's House family is grateful for the outpouring of love, prayers and support from the community," the statement reads. "Thank you for your understanding and continued prayers."  

The Potter's House also has campuses in North Dallas, Fort Worth, Texas and Denver.

"The Potter’s House is consistently ranked among the largest and most influential churches in the U.S," according to the church's website.
