While Sparks did not specify which church she attended, she has been vocal about her religious beliefs in the past. After acting in the 2014 film "Left Behind," the entertainer spoke about her hope that the movie, inspired by the biblical rapture, would touch more than just Christians.
"I think the great thing about this movie is that the people in it have the ability to bring in people from all over to see the movie, whether they are believers, whether they're non-believers," Sparks previously told The Christian Post. "Whether they are agnostic, whether they don't believe in anything, it doesn't matter."
After shows like the HBO series "The Leftovers" aired, Sparks was excited for people to witness the biblical prophecy come to life for a big screen interpretation.
"I am excited for my fans to come see it because whether they know the story of the rapture from the Bible, or they've watched 'The Leftovers' where people just disappear," Sparks told CP. "Everybody can relate to imagining, 'What if someone that I loved wasn't around anymore, in an instant?' And it can definitely happen, whether it is through being taken up in the rapture or you know a tragic accident, life isn't promised to us here, tomorrow is not promised and I think everybody can relate to that. So I think it's going to be really cool to see all the different types of people that will come in to see the film and for everybody to start a conversation afterward."
Sparks has previously taken to social media to speak about her spiritual life, including last September when she called on prayer warriors to intercede on her behalf during times of anxiety.
"I'm having such bad anxiety. I can't sleep," she previously tweeted. "If there's any prayer warriors out there, can you please send up a prayer for me?"
Pastor Rick Warren from Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California, happened to see the tweet and answer Sparks' call for prayer.
"Praying for u Jordin,' he responded. "False Evidence Appearing Real(Fear) is worse than the reality Don't resist it REFOCUS elsewhere."
Sparks seemed to appreciate the pastor's response and tweeted, "thank you! That was very encouraging!"
