Is this where the pastor used to be a dubstep DJ? Substance Church always seemed a bit enigmatic to me. Standing right here, in front of Substance Church, you might not guess its modern approach to faith. Substance Church was founded in 2004 by Pastor Peter Haas. He aimed to create a church that resonated with a younger generation. Interestingly, Pastor Haas himself had an unconventional path to ministry. He was once a dubstep DJ! This unique background is often cited as a testament to the church’s openness and acceptance. Substance Church is known for its ultra-contemporary worship services. Think turntables, rap, and even EDM! They have their own nationally known worship bands like Substance Input-Output and Substance Variant. These bands even produce music videos and albums. The church embraces technology in many ways. They utilize videography for their multi-site format and actively engage with social media. Substance Church is more than just modern music and technology. It’s a place where young people find community and explore their faith in a relevant and engaging way.
