Our Ministers

Rev Daniel Mossfield is a Minister of the Word in the Uniting Church in Australia, serving at Wesley Uniting Church, Canberra, since January 2026. His ministry brings together preaching, pastoral leadership, theological reflection and the renewal of congregational life within one of Australia's most historically significant Methodist and Uniting Church congregations. 

Before moving to Canberra, Daniel served for nine years as minister in Crookwell, while also contributing to the Grace Community, the Goulburn Multicentre Uniting Church and a range of missional initiatives across the Southern Tablelands. Earlier ministry included work as Children, Youth and Young Adult Pastor at Queanbeyan Uniting Church, together with chaplaincy in schools, universities and disaster recovery contexts. Throughout his ministry he has sought to cultivate communities of worship, hospitality and faithful witness that engage thoughtfully with their local contexts. 

Daniel is a PhD candidate in theology through United Theological College and Charles Sturt University, where he has also taught in homiletics. His research explores preaching at the intersection of liturgical theology, contemporary culture and the church's proclamation of the gospel, drawing particularly on the work of Alexander Schmemann and the challenges posed by secular modernity.

Alongside parish ministry and research, Daniel serves the wider church through teaching, mentoring and presbytery leadership. His passion is to help congregations discover that faithful preaching is not simply the communication of ideas, but participation in God's ongoing work of renewing people, communities and the whole creation.

Rev Annie Brophy is a Minister of the Word in the Uniting Church in Australia, serving at Wesley Uniting Church, Canberra, since May 2026.

Annie believes that worship lies at the heart of the Church's life and shapes the way God's people live in the world. Alongside congregational ministry, she is undertaking doctoral research in liturgical theology, exploring how the Church's worship can continue to nurture faith and reflect the breadth of God's people. She values thoughtful worship, careful listening, and the privilege of sharing with people in both the ordinary and extraordinary moments of life.
