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

Our course ensures you understand the legalities of solemnising marriages, enhancing your credibility as a FuturFaith Minister.
