Our Pastors are world class leaders, leading not only their congregation, but also other pastors and leaders throughout the U.S and worldwide. As this year has brought so much uncertainty and confusion, Pastor Peter and Carolyn Haas immediately sought God, His solutions and provisions. Without missing a beat, we switched to digital church, and were being redirected and commissioned as “digital missionaries”. As everyone was shutting their doors, and sadly their churches and ministries, we thrived. We grieved, processed and prayed together. God opened up a way for a food distribution ministry out of our Northtown location to give away (since Covid started- up till now) over 2.5million pounds of food to those who need it. On a weekly basis with only the help of volunteers! Also as soon as Churches were allowed to be opened (which our leaders took part in and were given a voice, and chosen to represent “the Church” in political circles) Substance created the “LOVE THIS CITY” outreach out of our Downtown location in Historic Westley-which has been such a blessing to the neighbourhood of Loring Park. Once again our volunteers go out of the way to accommodate that, and deliver groceries by hand into peoples apartment if they’re unable to carry and need help with that. As a result the Gospel is preached and received, healing takes place and God is glorified! Everything is done through prayerful consideration, godly visioneering and leading of Holy Spirit. And all of that has been modeled and taught with all diligence through P. Carolyn and Peter. I am honored and grateful for such Christ centered Leaders and Church. Their faith is unshakable, their obedience inspiring and joy undeniable. I nominate them!
