It is with profound sadness that Midlands Christian Group of Schools, announce the passing of our beloved School Chaplain and a devoted member of the Board of Trustees, Pastor Douglas Darby. He served our school community with unwavering dedication, compassion, and love. Pastor Doug was not only a source of spiritual guidance, but also a mentor and friend to many. Pastor Doug was a pillar of our schools who provided wisdom to generations of students, teachers and staff. His selfless commitment to our school family was a testament to his deep faith and love for humanity. He had a unique ability to connect with people of all ages and background, offering a listening ear and comfortable presence in times of need. Pastor Doug also served New Life Centre as Senior Pastor diligently for 43 years. He also led the Midlands Sphere of United Apostolic Faith Churches (UAFC). As we mourn the loss, we take comfort in the knowledge that his legacy will live on through the countless lives that he touched and transformed during his time with us. The Midlands Christian Group of schools community extends its deepest condolences to Mrs. D Darby, Matthew, Sarah and Lauren during this difficult time.
