Hi, my name is Graham Beattie. I’m a Minister of the Word of the Uniting Church in Australia and have served for 17 years in pastoral ministry in 3 parishes in New South Wales – Blacktown, Griffith and Coffs Harbour. From 1993-1999 I held the position of Mission Officer with the Victorian Synod focusing on the western and north-western suburbs of Melbourne where I worked with congregations in mission planning and leadership development. |

At the end of 1999 I came to Queensland as one of the 3 Synod Mission Consultants. My personal mission is to influence the strategic transformation of the church as a hospitable, disciple-making movement that participates with the Spirit in the creative transformation of the world. In particular, I commit myself to the development of regional style churches and new faith communities through personally mentoring present and future leaders. I provide a Queensland link with the Assembly's Multicultural Ministry agency. My field work is focused on North Queensland, Bremer Brisbane and Mary Burnett Presbyteries. A major part of my work is coaching ministers through the Focusing Leaders course.
I am married to Beth who teaches English and
numeracy to marginalised people. We have 3 wonderful teenage children:
Lyndel, Karen and James. My hobbies include table tennis, reading, travel
and meeting people. |
