Suzanne J Ellis was ordained as a Minister of the Word in the Uniting Church in Australia on 10th December 2000 at the Melrose Institute Hall in the Southern Flinders Ranges of South Australia. Her early work in the Uniting Church began as the Pastoral Assistant, Suzanne Kelsh, in the Flinders Parish, caring for the Wilmington/Willowie district and preaching across the region at Booleroo Centre, Booleroo Whim, Melrose, MurrayTown and Wilmington and Willowie. She entered Parkin Wesley College in 1995, was elected as Chairperson of the Student Representative Council in 1997, during which time the theological college moved from King William Road, Adelaide, to join with St Barnabas Anglican College and the Catholic Theological Education Centre to form the Adelaide College of Divinity.

Her next placement was to Western Eyre Uniting Churches on southern Eyre Peninsula. Always considered to be truly representative of the rural voice in the Uniting Church, she served on several councils of the Church and was nominated as Moderator of the South Australian Synod at one point.
