~ A place to find answers to gnawing spiritual questions ~

Ever wanted to ask a minister a spiritual question but just didn't have the courage to do it? Well, here's the place to find answers to hundreds of questions already asked! Answers were prayerfully prepared by a team of 30 anonymous ministers, who served as our Chapel volunteers. (No, David Wilkerson did not answer these questions.)

Please remember, Ask a Minister is for genuine seekers; this is not a place for arguments, personal advice, or counsel. Seek personal advice and counsel from your local pastor; Ask a Minister is limited to spiritual questions.

Newer questions can be found under the link to Recent Questions. If you need some immediate answers, please seek the counsel and advice of your local pastor or try the resources below.
