ARC Resources

This resource is primarily for local church ministers and leaders, and others with resourcing or pastoral responsibilities.

It contains a substantial list of agencies, organisations, bodies and contacts that provide information or assistance in spheres related to the pastoral or community dimension of Christian ministry. It is not intended as a first port-of-call for those directly needing help or assistance.

Where a relevant national body exists, contact details (website & phone number) are provided. In the downloadable version of this resource, the table leaves space for you to fill in local contact details yourself, e.g. from the national website.

In other cases, there is no national body (e.g. with the Rural Hubs) and although they are included in the list, you will need to find the specific information yourself.

Please feel free to adapt it to create a version entirely local to your area. (We can provide you with an electronic template for this; email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ). The downloadable version of this list will not be updated as frequently as the online version; you may need to check the date given on the downloadable version.

If you have any general comments on this resource, or have any difficulties using it, please email us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

The list is neither complete nor comprehensive. The resource is intended to be organic, growing & changing as time goes by. If you feel something is inaccurate or absent please let us know – and give brief details (including a website address or national phone number, if possible). Please remember, though, that we are unable to include specific details of agencies, organisations, bodies or contacts that are not national in scope.
