We have two learning centres: Cliff College in Derbyshire which focusses on mission and evangelism and the training of lay people, and The Queen's Foundation in Birmingham which focusses on training people for ministry and mission roles, including ordained ministry.
Cliff College, Derbyshire
Cliff College is an evangelical learning community which is rooted in God’s Word and Spirit, for the purpose of equipping God’s people for practical ministry and cutting-edge missional engagement.
Cliff College provides theological education and training with a particular focus on mission and evangelism. Historically, Cliff was a Methodist training college for those wishing to engage in mission and evangelism.
Today our student body is both lay and ordained and from a range of denominational backgrounds.
We offer full-time and part-time undergraduate and postgraduate courses with on campus and online learning options, as well as a programme of training and development courses and retreats.
Alongside our courses we have a busy Conference Centre, a gap year focused on mission and evangelism, thriving international work delivering training and support to Christians throughout the world and an exciting annual Festival of word and music.
