Community

Those who live at Cliff College form a community of Christian disciples who share their journey of faith together. This community is, at its heart, the shared relationship of all those who live at the College, including students, the Cliff Year, staff and others, who are regularly joined throughout the year by students and staff who live elsewhere. This community comes together at different times each week to study, worship, eat, gather, socialise, drink coffee and work, and everyone is expected to play a role. In light of this, it’s helpful for us to recognise what you would bring to the community life of the College.

The Cliff Year are key members of our College community and are expected to fully participate in community life. What do you feel you can offer into our community life together?*

The Cliff College community has a Rule of Life, which is at the heart of our life together when we are onsite. Please confirm you have read through the Rule of Life, as you will be expected to adhere to this Rule while part of the residential community at Cliff.*
