T.D. Jakes and The Potters House Purchase Church Property in Fort Worth, Texas

The Potter's House of Dallas, a nondenominational church of Bishop T.D. Jakes, has followed through with its plans for an east Fort Worth location.

The church has purchased 7.7 acres in the Woodhaven Village Shopping Center, on the north side of Interstate 30.

Zunoraine Holmes, Potter's House communications chief, said details regarding the use of the property are still being worked out.

The property includes two buildings totaling 83,468 square feet at 1200 Woodhaven Blvd. and 5421 Bridge St. The structures were built in the early 1980s. One is a former grocery store.

The property was last used by Shiloh Church at Fort Worth. Evangelical Christian Credit Union in Brea, Calif., foreclosed on it in May.

The Potter's House financed the deal with a $2.3 million note with Bank of America, deed records show.

The church has been holding local services at the Fort Worth Convention Center. The 30,000-member Dallas church said it has about 2,000 members in Fort Worth.
