THE buiLdiNG
“In September 2011, we became aware that the Conservative Club in Milnrow had suddenly become available with immediate vacant possession. … The members of New Life, together with Christians from other churches stood with us, offering astounding financial pledges of support which enabled us to acquire the building.
This was ‘just the beginning’ and sacrificial hard work was required as the building was in a much-needed state of internal and external repair. Concentrating mainly on the upstairs main hall we eventually held our first Sunday Service at the end of January 2013.
Our very own building immediately opened up a whole host of possibilities including Alpha courses, men’s and lady’s events, various evening services, comedy events etc., to name but a few. Most notably, being able to run the weekly Kidz Klub event in house was a great bonus.
After a time of rest from the building work, another generous offering from New Life members enabled us to complete another phase of the building work in 2015. The rooms making up two levels in the stone building attached to the back elevation were completely renovated and now comprises an upstairs admin office, a lower ground room prayer/counselling/meeting room, a kitchenette and a WC.”
