Richard Sparks, B.S., M.P. Th., D.D.

Chief Financial Officer
Teaches Youth Ministry

Ball State University, B.S.; Hyles-Anderson Seminary, M.P.Th., D.D.; Fifteen years of teaching experience; Bus captain and worker for twenty years; Sunday school teacher for sixteen years.

Brother Sparks was led to Christ and started attending church as a teenager. He attended and graduated from Ball State University with a degree in accounting in 1982. He was successful in the business field with a nice home and a good family and was a faithful church member. In 1986 he made a decision that he did not simply want to make money and have a nice life; he wanted to serve God full-time and do something that would be eternal. He moved his family to Northwest Indiana and enrolled in Hyles-Anderson Seminary. He graduated in August 1990 with a Master of Pastoral Theology degree. He has worked with teenagers in the Bible Club ministry for seventeen years. He can be seen every Sunday afternoon driving a busload of teenagers from the Hammond area to the Sunday evening church service. His life verse is: Matthew 6:33, “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”
