Pastor Austin Thom and his wife, Jackie
Pastor Austin Thom leads The Potter's House of Sparks with his wife, Jackie, by his side. They love Jesus, they love their three children, and they love the people of this city.
Pastor Austin preaches the Bible plainly and practically. Jackie has a heart for people and makes everyone feel at home. Together they serve a church where new believers are discipled, families are strengthened, and leaders are raised up.
If you visit on a Sunday, you will likely meet them both. They would love to hear your story.

What we believe
We are a Bible-believing, Spirit-filled Christian church. Here is a plain-language summary of our core beliefs.
One God
There is one true God who exists eternally as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
God our Creator
God made people for relationship with Him. After the fall, He made a way back through Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ
Jesus is fully God and fully man. He lived a sinless life, died for our sins, rose again, and is Lord.
The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is God. He gives life, empowers believers, and shapes us to be like Jesus.
Baptism in the Holy Spirit
After salvation, believers can receive the fullness of the Spirit, with speaking in tongues and the fruit and gifts of the Spirit.
The Bible
Scripture is inspired by God, without error, and the final authority for what we believe and how we live.
The cross and healing
Jesus' death paid for the sins of the whole world. His sacrifice also provides healing for body, soul, and spirit.
Salvation
Salvation is a free gift. We receive it by turning from sin and trusting Jesus as Lord and Savior.
The Christian life
Believers are called to holiness and devotion, and to stay faithful to God through every trial.
The church
The church is the body of Christ. Every believer has a place in it, and its mission is to make disciples of all nations.
Baptism and communion
Water baptism is a public sign of new life in Christ. The Lord's Supper remembers His death until He comes.
Christ's return
Jesus will return bodily. The dead will be raised, and every person will stand before God.
