Clergy On Call

Compassionate and Heartfelt Care. We are Always Here for You

Clergy On Call

Let’s face it—many people today are tired and burnt out by religion and the church. So, we operate as a clergy on wheels that supports you as an individual or couple of family groups through all seasons of life in your home, hospital or nursing home. Some people have no family close by to visit them and feel alone.

 We are committed to consistently providing compassionate care and support for you, regardless of who you are or what you are going through. Whether you are a part of a church or not, all our conversations are confidential between you and our clergy. Over the last ten years, we have supported many Pastors and churches. As they seek to be revitalised. We have found that there also is just as much of a need for many sick, hurt, dying local congregations to be supported for a plethora of reasons. But at the core, often we have found it’s because they haven’t tasted Grace, and religion has choked the life out of them, which has seen many hurt people leave and become totally disconnected from life.

So, our role is to minister with love and grace, journeying with people and church communities where they are. We wholly and solely run by faith, thanks to the generous support of our donors and ministry supporters.  We have a significant role in people’s lives and are privileged to step into a very sacred space as they are raw and overwhelmed with life and grief; we come and conduct funerals through our Arrow & Knot Ceremonies for the hurting and the broken, as often when people lose someone they feel like they have had an Arrow to the heart shattering it in a thousand pieces.

The Knot symbolises the arms of Jesus that we seek to be to them as we provide pastoral care, counselling, and other different support services at home hospitals or nursing homes through in-person visitation and phone support. Our phones are answered 24/7, and you will always get a person on the end of the phone. The reality is that the times we live in are challenging, and there are times we want to talk to someone outside of those we know.  

Clergy on Call believes in a simple, uncluttered faith and has been developed to bridge the gap and assist individuals, couples, families, pastors, chaplains, churches, hospitals, nursing homes, and many other contexts in the different seasons of life. All our clergy are Bible College trained and our ministry team is Police-Checked, and hold valid Working with Children Checks, and are ordained and registered with The Southern Cross Association of Churches we are in fellowship with them alliging with their mission, vision and values and statement of faith.

Thank-you Colin I’m incredibly grateful for coming across Colin & his wonderful celebrant work.
Colin officiated my Father’s memorial service & it was everything we had envisioned for the day.
He builds strong rapport with you from the first consultation & allows you to feel at ease. Colin’s humble & loving energy reflected the whole way through the
service. I highly recommend him

We loved our Wedding Ceremony! Rebecca did an amazing job and made everyone feel very welcome and relaxed.
We loved how we were able to incorporate our own vows into the ceremony and make it unique to us.
And nothing was ever too much trouble! We would definitely recommend Arrow & Know, thankyou so much for making our wedding so special.

Mr. D Rowell – June 2024

I would like to express my appreciation of your planning and conduct of the funeral of my darling daughter, Fiona. In particular, I would like to congratulate you for the reading of the Eulogy I prepared. My understanding is that those words will appear in the Independent News tomorrow. What an excellent tribute to Fiona.

Scott Townsend, Australian Heritage Funerals

As a Funeral Director, I have used the services of Arrow & Knot Ceremonies and Clergy On Call a number of times. Each time I have found both Colin & Rebecca to be very helpful and understanding of a families needs/wants for a service for their loved one. Very good with communication all the way through the process from first call with the family through to liaising with myself for anything that may be needed on the day of the service. I would not hesitate to recommend Colin or Rebecca to any family in need of a non religious or religious celebrant.

Jason Killick – Killick Family Funerals

I have had the pleasure of working with Arrow and Knot on a number of occasions and I have always found them brilliant to deal with. As a funeral director, it is important to us that those we entrust a service to meet our need in every regard and more so, meet the need of our families. We have never been let down by the team at Arrow and Knot. Their booking system is fast and simple and it allows us to tell a family right away who their celebrant will be.

I highly recommend Colin, Rebecca and their team for religious and non-religious ceremonies.
