It is now official: Dr. Anita Phillips has been formally installed as the new Lead Pastor of ONE - A Potter's House Church in Los Angeles.
The installation service was held February 23, 2026, at the historic Angelus Temple in Echo Park. The ceremony was presided over by ONE Church founder Touré Roberts, marking a significant leadership moment for the Potter's House family of churches.
This appointment follows a major leadership transition within the broader Potter's House network. In July 2025, Touré Roberts and Sarah Jakes Roberts were formally installed as co-senior pastors of The Potter's House in Dallas, succeeding founder Bishop T.D. Jakes. Dr. Phillips' installation signals continued generational and strategic expansion within the movement.
Dr. Phillips is widely respected as a pastor, licensed clinician, trauma therapist, and life coach whose work bridges faith, mental health, and neuroscience. She has appeared on Super Soul Conversations with Oprah Winfrey and on Today, bringing conversations about emotional wholeness and spiritual growth to national audiences.
She is the bestselling author of The Garden Within and creator of the "In the Light" podcast, where she explores the integration of Christian faith, psychological health, and scientific insight. Her ministry has consistently emphasized healing, resilience, and emotional discipleship.
Church leaders described the installation as both historic and prophetic, highlighting Dr. Phillips' unique voice at the intersection of church leadership and mental health advocacy. Supporters believe her appointment reflects a growing recognition within the Church of the need for spiritually grounded, psychologically informed leadership.
As Lead Pastor of ONE LA, Dr. Phillips is expected to continue expanding the church's influence across Los Angeles and beyond, equipping believers to pursue both spiritual maturity and emotional wellness.
Congratulations, Dr. Anita Phillips, on this historic milestone.
