What happens at the end of the 'Path to Ministry' course?

Upon completion of the "Path to Ministry" course, students embark on a culminating exercise that requires them to conduct a ceremony of their choosing, simulating a real-life event.

This final step in the course is designed to provide a practical, hands-on experience, enabling students to apply the knowledge and skills they've acquired throughout their training.

Simulating a real-life ceremony

The ceremony must be conducted with a high degree of authenticity, incorporating all elements that would be present in an actual ceremony.

Students are expected to prepare as they would for a genuine ceremony, which includes bringing their own ceremonial props and dressing in appropriate attire to reflect the solemnity and significance of the occasion.

Requirements for a wedding ceremony

Specifically, for those students choosing to conduct a wedding ceremony as their final project, it is imperative that they include the necessary legal declarations, vows, and wording that comply with the requirements set forth by FuturFaith Ministry, aligning with Section 51 of the Civil Registration Act 2004.

This aspect of the exercise is crucial for ensuring that students are fully prepared to conduct legal wedding ceremonies, should they choose to become registered solemnisers.

Assessing competence and compliance

This comprehensive approach not only assesses the student's ability to create and execute a meaningful ceremony but also reinforces FuturFaith Ministry's commitment to upholding the legal and emotional integrity of such significant life events.

It is an opportunity for students to showcase their creativity, understanding, and readiness to embark on their ministerial journey, equipped with the skills to make every ceremony they conduct memorable and impactful.
