Introducing Our New Pastor

Carl and Caroline Peet

It's now nearly 5 months since I took up the role of pastor here at HECC, so I thought it was about time I put together a post! My name is Carl Peet, I am a 47-year-old Welshman. I am married to Caroline, and we have four children: Daniel, Matthew, Rebekah, and Martha. I have been in ordained ministry since 2014, first serving in reformed churches in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, whilst studying for my Honours Degree in Theological Studies at Highland Theological College in Dingwall, before returning to England to serve in FIEC, and then, EFCC churches.

Before my call into the ministry, I worked for over 10 years in the field of criminal justice, addiction recovery, and secure unit mental health.

My family and I have fallen in love with Devon and its people, and we are excited for what the Lord is doing here in Honiton. It's a privilege to serve a church with such a long history as HECC, and I desire to see the church rediscover and strengthen its roots as a reformed, confessional, evangelical gospel community here in East Devon.

If you are looking for a church that preaches and believes the Bible and is seeking to live that out in its faith and practice, you are very welcome to pay us a visit.

Who knows, you may even stay, we did!
