James Orsen Bakker (; born January 2, 1940) is an American televangelist and former Assemblies of God minister.
With his former wife Tammy Faye he hosted the The PTL Club, an evangelical Christian television program from 1974 to 1989.
He also developed Heritage USA, a now-defunct Christian theme park in Fort Mill, South Carolina. A cover-up of hush money paid to a church secretary, Jessica Hahn, for an alleged rape led to his resignation from the ministry.
Subsequent revelations of accounting fraud brought about his conviction on felony charges, imprisonment and divorce.
Bakker later remarried and returned to televangelism, where he founded his new ministry, Morningside Church in Blue Eye, Missouri.
He currently hosts The Jim Bakker Show, which focuses on the end time and the Second Coming of Christ while promoting emergency survival products.
He has written several books, including I Was Wrong and Time Has Come: How to Prepare Now for Epic Events Ahead.
