Meet Our Pastor

 Pastor Laura Holt-Haslam has been blessed to serve as the pastor of Buxton Centre Baptist Church since September 1, 2010. She has previously served churches in Portland, Biddeford, and Saco, Maine, as well as a Christian community center for at-risk youth and families. She has a BA in Religion from Bates College and a Masters of Divinity from Andover Newton Theological School.

 Pastor Laura loves preaching, and one of her favorite times of the week is the time she spends studying Scripture and preparing to share God's Word. She also loves socializing with the "Souper Seniors" every Monday and having fun with the children and teens, especially during Vacation Bible School. She is also now an author, having published her first horse book for pre-teens entitled, "A Place for Sofia!"
