SUNDAY GATHERINGS
WELCOME TO
OUR WAREHOUSE
Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God (Romans 15:7).
If you're new to Substance, come on out and make yourself at home! Our renovated warehouse in the heart of downtown Ashland has been designed to be a casual but creative space that reflects our love for God, people and the gospel.
WORSHIP WITH US
And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers (Acts 2:42).
Join us on Sundays at 10am as we gather together before the Lord in prayer, praise and preaching. We provide discipleship and care every Sunday for kids in kindergarten and under. Children grades 1st-4th worship with us in our main gathering before they're released for their own time of discipleship every week except for the last Sunday of the month (Family Sunday).
FOOD & FELLOWSHIP
And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having favor with all the people
(Acts 2:46-47).
We not only value worship, but we love food and fellowship, too! At the conclusion of our Sunday gathering, we like to hang out in our cafe to enjoy brunch and some good pour-over coffee, while meeting new people and catching up with old friends.

PATHWAYS TO GROWTH
In Christ and With Community
We believe that God has called the gathered church to grow in their knowledge of God and affection for Jesus as they become sanctified through the work of the Holy Spirit. We also believe that this vital investment in our spiritual growth happens most fruitfully in community with other believers. Our aim at Substance is to expand our vision of community and leadership development by providing different pathways that will help us experience growth both in Christ and with community.
Most of our Pathways break for the duration of the summer to allow for rest and reset. Check back here for more information as they start in the fall!
