FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Welcome from Pastor Peter

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 and facebook messages, I'm not always able to respond. So, my “Backstage Pass” is basically my “online Q & A forum” where I spend time answering some of your commonly asked questions! Keep in mind, this is an editorial column: There's a big difference between my opinions and Substance Church's 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.

Of course, if you have additional questions or feedback for me, feel free to email contact@substancechurch.com. And if you want more of my thoughts, I’m constantly blogging, tweeting and posting on all sorts of topics (see www.peterhaas.org); You can find me on Instagram and Twitter (@peterhaas1) or on Facebook. In the meantime, stay filled with His grace!
