Our story,
from the beginning.

Where we came from and where we're going.

Summer 2021

The beginning

We decided to open our eyes to the future and wanted to 'future-proof' the world of Ministry, and thus our Futurfaith voyage began in 2021, with the goal of changing the industry for the better.

Autumn 2021

Becoming Official

By Autumn, we became official—registered with the GRO in both Ireland and NI. Our first ministers were also added to the HSE’s official Register of Solemnisers.
