Motto: “Christ for All - All for Christ” Cliff College has a long and rich heritage of providing Theological training for people from diverse backgrounds, for mission and evangelism. It started in 1883 in the home of its founder Thomas Champness in Bolton, but moved to Calver in 1904. Since the beginning we have sought to provide Biblical, Evangelical training that is both relevant and forward thinking, with an emphasis on Scriptural Holiness. We have a high standard of excellence with the courses we deliver as we seek to provide the best training we can give. We want to see people equipped for the services of mission and evangelism. Cliff College currently serves most evangelical denominations with its training.
