He was ordained as the minister of the Congregational church in Templeton, Massachusetts in 1761 and served there until his death in 1805. Sparhawk married Naomi Hill, the daughter of Rev. Abraham Hill, in 1773. Like his father-in-law, Sparhawk was suspected of being a Loyalist during the American Revolution.
