Mike Uptin has been a priest in the Anglican Church Southern Queensland for over 21 years. He did his curacy at St Luke’s Toowoomba and then was the Rector of Dalby (2004-2008) and Surfers Paradise (2008-2021) before resigning to take on the role as Regional Officer for the Bush Church Aid Society of Australia (BCA).
BCA is a mission agency committed to providing clergy and other Christian workers for Christian churches and communities in rural and remote Australia.
As Regional Officer, Mike’s role is to encourage Christians to support those who go into rural and remote ministry through prayer, visits and giving – as well as to be on the lookout for those whom God is calling to “go west”.
