A FuturFaith officiant is equipped to perform a wide range of ceremonies tailored to the specific needs and beliefs of individuals, whether religious, secular, or symbolic. Their training ensures they can conduct weddings, including legal solemnisation, funerals that honour the deceased, naming ceremonies that celebrate new life, vow renewals, commitment ceremonies, and coming-of-age ceremonies like the Stepping Stone ceremony. Each ceremony is personalised to reflect the values, traditions, and wishes of those involved, making every event meaningful and inclusive. Read more

The primary difference between FuturFaith and Humanist organisations lies in our approach to spirituality and ceremonies. FuturFaith offers an inclusive, open-minded approach that welcomes individuals from various belief systems, allowing officiants to blend traditional religious elements with personalised touches in ceremonies. In contrast, Humanist organisations focus on a secular, non-religious philosophy, conducting ceremonies without reference to a deity, which may be limiting for those with spiritual or religious backgrounds. FuturFaith’s inclusivity appeals to a diverse demographic, reflecting a growing trend towards spiritual fluidity and personalisation. Read more

The Register of Solemnisers a crucial aspect for those interested in becoming legally recognised officiants in Ireland through our “Path to Ministry” programme. The register, maintained by the Health Service Executive in Ireland or NI Direct in Northern Ireland, lists individuals authorised to legally solemnise marriages. Inclusion requires nomination by a recognised religious or secular body, a process we guide you through as part of our support. Our course ensures you understand the legalities of solemnising marriages, enhancing your credibility as a FuturFaith Minister. The HSE register is publicly accessible, validating your status as a legally recognised solemniser and allowing potential clients to verify your credentials. In addition to preparing you for the register, our training equips you with a broad range of skills for a successful career. Read more

This financial autonomy allows you to manage your ministry as you see fit, from setting your fees to handling payments, without any external interference. Our commitment to your financial independence means you can focus on building a rewarding career and growing your ministry according to your own vision, confident that every cent you earn is yours to keep.
