Taufstein Baptisimal Font The baptismal font made of marble and alabaster has been built by Franz Döteber in 1614-15. On it are portrayed biblical scenes. It was restored in 2009.

The triptych altar in the sanctuary is a valuable art work of an unknown master from the 15th century. Originally, the altar stood in the University Church of St. Paul until 1968, at which point the church was destroyed. It is a permanent loan of the University.

In the sanctuary are the portraits of the Superintendents of Leipzig since the introduction or the Reformation. The oldest of these portraits date back to 1614.

Bachgrab Grave of Johann Sebastian Bach Under the bronze epitaph lie the remains of Johann Sebastian Bach since 1950. The remains were found in1894 on the St. John's Church cemetery.  These were retained inside the St. John's Church since 1900. When the church was destroyed in World War II, the remains were translated to the St. Thomas Church.

The  crucifix across from the pulpit was created by Caspar Friedrich Löbel. It is one of the few existing treasures of church originating from Bach's time. 

Noteworthly are the numerous epitaphs (memorial plates) throughout the church. The oldest one is for Knight Harras (+1451). This can be found under the south balcony to the left of the side entrance. In the northcrossing hangs the epitaph of Councilman Daniel Leicher (1612).

Thomas Window Originally the windows of the St. Thomas Church were made of a simple ornament glass. The colorful windows in the sanctuary and on the south side of the church were installed after 1889. In the sanctuary, the windows portray the followong scenes: the birth, the baptism, the resurrection of Jesus and the disciples of Emmaus. In May 2000, the only window destroyed during World War II was replaced with the Thomas Window designed by Hans-Gottfried von Stockhausen.

On the south side, the windows represent (from left to right) the following scenes: Memorial window for the fallen soldiers of World War I,  King Gustav II. Adolf of Sweden, Johann Sebastian Bach, Martin Luther with Elector Friedrich the Wise of Saxony (left) and Philipp Melanchthon (right); Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy (seit 1997) and Kaiser Wilhelm I.

In October 2009 the serial will be added by the peace window designed by David Schnell.
