Uniting Church in Australia, Queensland Synod
The Queensland Synod is the state council of the Uniting Church in Australia, established in 1977 as Australia’s first homegrown church. The Synod office, located in Auchenflower, Brisbane supports eight presbyteries and around 250 congregations through the provision of services including education, administration and strategic planning. Our congregations and faith communities across Queensland embrace people of all ages and cultures. We proclaim ourselves as pilgrims on a journey, seeking to build community and to live out our Christian witness in the world. The Synod office works in partnership with our churches, schools, hospitals, residential colleges and agencies (such as UnitingCare Queensland and Wesley Mission Queensland) to provide services such as chaplaincy, youth development, childcare and after school care. Together we share a common purpose, that all people might experience “life in all its fullness” (John 10:10). The Uniting Church is actively working towards a nation which acknowledges the rights of Indigenous Australians as the first people of this land, respects the land on which we live, and is committed to empowering Indigenous people to take control of their own lives and destinies.
