Since our beginnings in 1907 in the roots of the Albert Street Methodist church (now the Uniting Church) in Brisbane, we have been living our mission by supporting people on the margins of society.In 2016, we changed our name from Wesley Mission Brisbane to Wesley Mission Queensland. The change is small but significant. Just like the state we call home, we reach far and wide and we are made up of people from all walks of life; by transitioning to a name that better signifies our geographical reach, we can more accurately reflect the community in which we work and our neighbours who we support.
