It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of Rev Dr Simon Carey Holt, who died on Tuesday evening, 25 August 2026. Simon served on the Faculty of Whitley College for more than 10 years as Senior Lecturer in Spirituality and Practical Theology, before leaving in 2010 to become Senior Pastor at Collins Street Baptist Church in the Melbourne CBD.
