Welcome to Backstage Pass

 

Every week people from all walks of life email me (Pastor Peter) to get my thoughts.  Of course, due to the large volume of emails, I'm not always able to respond.  So, Backstage Pass is nothing more than an online Q & A where I spend time answering some commonly asked questions.  Keep in mind, this is an editorial column:  There's a difference between my opinions and Substance churches' statement of faith.  And like all of you, my worldview is always evolving around my new experiences, both with you and with God's Word.  So feel free to email your questions or feedback to the staff or my executive pastor:  pmorse@substancechurch.com.

 

Be blessed,

 

Pastor Peter Haas

 

P.s., For extra fun, feel free to subscribe to my facebook,  blog, twitter (@pastorpeterhaas) and youtube (peterhaaspastor).  I love to give folks the inside scoop!
