From Jessica Lea of CHURCHLEADERS:
The Potter’s House of Denver, a megachurch in Denver, Colo., led by pastors Touré Roberts and his wife, Sarah Jakes Roberts, is selling its property and going fully remote. Touré Roberts says the decrease in giving the church has experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic is a key reason behind the decision.
“Due to the inability to gather and the economic instability of the pandemic, our church, like many other churches in the nation, experienced declining donations,” Pastor Touré Roberts told The Denver Post. “We decided that the best way forward would be to sell the property, continue our online offering that had proven a successful alternative and maintain our hands-on community outreach operations, which includes our food bank that feeds thousands of families per year.”
