Peter HoltvlüwerAbout me
Welcome to my website! Who am I? Well, I’m a husband, father, grandfather, son, uncle, pastor, and writer. But underneath all of that I’m just Pete, one of God’s children saved by grace. I’m an average guy trying to serve the Lord in these capacities and beyond. I make mistakes and mess up in all kinds of ways, all of which makes me so very grateful to be washed in the blood of Jesus Christ and renewed daily by his Spirit.
You might also like to know that I serve as a full-time minister of the Word in a Bible-believing, confessionally Reformed congregation in Canada. I am committed to the infallible Word of God and I uphold in every respect the Belgic Confession, Heidelberg Catechism, and Canons of Dort as accurate, faithful summaries of Scripture. I have been an ordained pastor since 1999 and am currently serving my fourth congregation. I am married to Erica and together we have been blessed with six children and a growing number of grandchildren.
I write non-fiction, mostly articles and editorials for Clarion, a magazine serving primarily the Canadian Reformed Churches. Naturally, I also write many sermons. In recent years I’ve been working on a multi-volume project called Christ’s Psalms, Our Psalms, which so far includes a Devotional, a four-volume pastoral commentary called the Study Resource, and a hands-on Bible Study Workbook. I am currently working on a new series of Bible study meditations called Unpacking Genesis, the first entry of which is Foundations (coming soon in 2026!).
