Our Leadership Team
Rev. Dr. Craig Peters
Lead Pastor
Pastor Craig was born in Kingston and grew up in the Parham area. He and his wife, Marcia, have been in ministry together for over 30 years.
He joined the ministry team at Harrowsmith Free Methodist Church as the lead pastor on October 1, 2022.
Craig has a love for God and people. He believes that the key to the Christian life is intimacy with God and he seeks to help people hear God’s voice, then encourages them to walk in faith and obedience to what God says.
Pastor Craig is a highly relational person who enjoys spending time with others and hearing their stories. He likes nothing more than seeing people discover who they are in Christ more fully, and then helping them to live in the fullness of that identity.
He enjoys watching and participating in various sports and likes doing a little buying and selling of coins and collectibles online. One of his favorite desserts is raspberry pie but he will graciously receive blueberry, cherry or pumpkin as well.
As the Lead Pastor at Harrowsmith, he is excited to hear your story, share in life-giving community, and work together to be a church that has the Kingdom impact God is calling us to have.
Give him a call at the church or send him an email at pastorcepeters@gmail.com.

Erin Boisvert
Pastor of Ministry and Life Development
Erin has been married to her husband, Aaron, for over 23 years and they are extremely proud parents to 4 children! Her youngest is still navigating her teen years while her other 3 are now “adulting’. She is a lay minister at Harrowsmith and has been serving here for over 9 years. She has worked in youth ministry and has previous experience with high-risk individuals and addiction counseling.
She is excited to be part of a new ministry here at HFMC offering “Life Development Coaching!” She provides a safe, non-judgmental environment that will inspire and motivate people to make positive changes in their lives. She is excited to be able to provide this service to our HFMC family and surrounding community!
*Personally, wish I had learned some of my coaching skills earlier in life as I see how they could have benefited me greatly earlier in my marriage and child-rearing years!
What Is Life Development Coaching? (Here is what Erin says)
Coaching is meant to help you have greater purpose, clarity, and passion in your personal and professional lives. Do you want to discover God’s direction for your life and reveal the strengths He has given you? I aspire to empower people to find solutions and transform what they are unhappy about in their lives and/or careers. We will set goals, work on your plan for achieving them, and celebrate your wins together. This journey will take you to be the person you really want to be! I love seeing people excited about their future and living in the fullness they were created for. I use coaching skills/training and leadership training/experience to transform the way you see yourself now into the person God sees you to be and discover your God-given potential! I coach my clients toward addressing any limiting beliefs and mental blocks that may hold them back.
I coach individuals who are in the process of recovery and in the midst of major life transitions including relationships, retirement, academic decisions, career change, or personal growth. My goal-setting tools allow you to break down your goal into easier, more achievable steps and help keep you accountable for moving yourself forward. I believe in the power of coaching to achieve transformation and lasting change!
I will encourage and challenge you to be the best version of yourself!
I am an ICF member (International Coaching Federation) in the final stages of Associate Certified Coach.
