Refreshing Resources

Every Sparkhouse project begins with a spark—an idea, an inspiration, a glowing reminder of the Spirit of God. And, best of all, you take our resources and transform your faith community.

Collaborative Community

A network of Christian thought-leaders and practitioners, from a variety of denominations, test ideas, turn them upside-down, shake them up, and make them stronger.

Theologically Sound

Sparkhouse intentionally collaborates with leaders from multiple denominations to ensure that our resources are theologically sound—ensuring that your leaders and volunteers are equipped within your communities.

“You are an important partner in our ministry.”
