The Uniting Church in Australia is a passionate and diverse Christian church, a community of people who are shaped by Jesus’ teaching and example, by Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection.

Our Leadership

Our Leadership

The Uniting Church discerns God’s call on people to serve the church in particular roles. The two key Synod leadership roles are the Moderator, and the General Secretary.

Moderator – Rev Bruce Moore

The Moderator is, in a sense, the spiritual head of the church. Elected by the gathered meeting of the Synod for a three-year term, the Moderator presides at meetings of the Synod, and its various committees and groups. The Moderator provides pastoral leadership to the whole church in Queensland. Rev Bruce Moore was inducted as Moderator in October 2023. At the 38th Synod in May 2025, Rev Moore was nominated and elected for a second term, and will serve until October 2029. He has previously served as Director of Mission within UnitingCare Queensland, and in a range of Synod and congregational settings, together with other professional experiences.

 

General Secretary – Rev Dr Adam McIntosh

The General Secretary provides a key leadership role within the office of the Synod, and through serving both the meetings of the Synod and it’s committees and groups. In addition, the General Secretary acts as the CEO for the Synod Office, leading its service of the wider Uniting Church in Queensland. Rev Dr Adam McIntosh was appointed General Secretary in October 2023 for an initial term of five years. Rev Dr McIntosh previously served as Associate Director of Mission with UnitingCare Queensland, and in a range of presbytery and congregational roles in the Synod of Victoria and Tasmania.
