Darrell with his wife Pam were born and bred in Sydney and have been married for 55 years. They have one married son, with 3 grandchildren.

Darrell trained for the ministry in Morling Baptist College Sydney and has been pastoring Baptist Churches in NSW, Victoria, and Western Australia for 53 years. Darrell has also been a member of the Australian Marketing Institute for over 50 years and is currently a Fellow of that Institute.

One of Darrell’s interests over the years has been incorporating various types of bus ministries into the churches where they have ministered. Many folk have met their spouse on one these tours. That is all now a thing of the past. For relaxation and stimulation Darrell enjoys interacting with people, gardening, photography and with his wife Pam exploring the county in their car. Darrell has tried to retire a couple of times, but the Lord continues to provide new opportunities, that is why we are part of the team at Lilydale Baptist Church and enjoying it
