History of FuturFaith
Our story
FuturFaith offers a comprehensive e-learning platform for those interested in becoming ministers or mastering the art of crafting ceremonies, including weddings, baby naming ceremonies, and funerals. The course structure includes 19 modules with 120 video lessons, aiming to provide a seamless learning experience across various devices.
We are approved and recognised by Health Service Executive (HSE),
General Register Office (GRO),
and NI Direct, so when you complete and graduate our online Path to Ministry course, upon successful nomination, you may deliver legally binding weddings in Ireland on any given day.
In 2021, with years of professional training between us and 100s of ceremonies collectively under our belts, we found ourselves impacted by a lack of opportunity and freedom imposed by some training organisations. We decided to open our eyes to the future and wanted to 'future-proof' the world of Ministry.
In Autumn 2021, we became officially recognised in both Ireland and Northern Ireland. We registered with the General Register Office in Ireland, then registered with GRO in Northern Ireland, and had our very first Ministers added to HSE List of Solemnisers.
In October 2021, we proudly conducted the very first wedding ceremony led by a FuturFaith registered officiant. This special milestone marked the beginning of our journey in providing legally recognised solemnisation services across Ireland and Northern Ireland.
In 2022, we completed work on our studio, a key development for FuturFaith Ministry. This dedicated space allowed us to begin recording high-quality content for our online Path to Ministry course.
In the same year, we proudly launched our website, marking another significant step forward for FuturFaith Ministry. The website serves as a resource for aspiring officiants, offering easy access to our Path to Ministry course, information about becoming a legally registered solemniser, and more.
By 2023, we had finished writing our comprehensive online officiant training course. After a year of careful planning and execution, we concluded the writing of Path to Ministry. Now, all that was left for us to do was piece our work together and prepare for lift off!
Looking ahead, our vision for the future of FuturFaith Ministry is centred around making ministry more accessible to all. We are committed to encouraging self-paced learning, allowing aspiring officiants to pursue their training on their own terms, regardless of location or schedule.
