Ceremonies for Life Intensive
Ceremonies are among the most significant and memorable shared events in our lives and remind us that we are truly human and deeply spiritual. As pastors, leaders, and chaplains, we are often invited into people’s most sacred ceremonies and sometimes asked to lead them.
This interactive intensive is an opportunity to enhance your understanding of funerals, weddings and other ceremonies and give you some practical tools to lead a ceremony with confidence and kindness.
We will look at what the Bible has to say about ceremonies and the important role they play in our relationships and our own spirituality. We will also look at how we can play a significant role in helping people have the ceremony they want, without compromising our own beliefs.
Ken and Mandy Fischer have been Pastors with ACC for almost 30 years, and both hold a Graduate Diploma in Counselling. In addition to pastoring, they have also worked bi-vocationally as Funeral Celebrants / Ministers in the funeral industry for the past 10 years. They believe the two roles work together beautifully!

Network Support
Our aim is to care for people at their point of need, by communicating the love of Christ in a compassionate and practical way. Equipped with theological training and skills in pastoral care, chaplains minister to people facing deeply distressing and traumatic situations, enabling them to better cope with periods of instability.
If you are interested in becoming a Chaplain then we would love to assist you in your journey. If it is training that you require, Chaplaincy Australia in partnership with Alphacrucis College (AC) can provide you with Chaplaincy specific training that will equip you for this ministry.
If you are already a Chaplain and active within your community but looking for a Network of Chaplains to connect with then please make contact with your State office.
We are committed to supporting you through:
- Ongoing support and encouragement through connection with a Regional Chaplain
- Regular professional development days
- Annual Chaplaincy Conference
- Facilitation of mandatory supervision
- Opportunity to train up and be deployed as part of our Disaster Response Teams
