The Forge Gathering from Parenting for Faith
The Forge Gathering is a residential retreat hosted by the Parenting for Faith team for anyone who wants to put parents and carers front and centre, to help children and teenagers grow a deep and rooted faith that lasts.
We have streams for children’s, youth and families’ leaders (both paid and voluntary), and also for church leaders.
The Forge is a yearly event, and the next Forge Gathering will be 10-12th November 2026, at Cloverley Hall, Shropshire, SY13 4PH.

Certificate in Parenting for Faith
The Cliff College short course in Parenting for Faith can be accessed as an online course or a five-day residential programme. Both have an optional assessment at the end in order to gain a certificate.
Parenting as a Church Leader sessions
We have created some training sessions especially for the unique challenge of parenting for faith when you’re a leader in the church too. Find out how to help your child flourish in their connection with God, even when it feels like you’re living in a goldfish bowl.
