New Life Church is based in a small market town..
Congleton is a small market town in England, in the south-east corner of Cheshire. It is situated about 6 miles east of the M6 junctions 17 & 18. Major conurbations within one hour drive of Congleton are Manchester and its International Airport, Liverpool, Birmingham, Chester, Warrington, Stoke-on-Trent, Crewe and Macclesfield.
The Borough of Congleton provides the ideal mix of attractive open countryside dotted with small villages and the picturesque towns of Alsager, Congleton, Holmes Chapel, Middlewich and Sandbach, where a wide choice of quality residential developments are available to suit every need.
It is an area of approximately 80 square miles (207 sq km) with a population of over 87,000. Everyone lives literally minutes from open countryside, leisure facilities and visitor attractions. The Borough runs five leisure centres, three swimming pools and an 18 hole golf course complemented by two 9 hole and three 18 hole private courses. Congleton and Sandbach are ancient Market Charter towns, while Middlewich, once a Roman industrial settlement, was established to exploit the area's rich salt deposits.
It is also within easy reach of the Cheshire Plain, Peak District, Lake District and the Welsh mountains and coast.
In a a recent survey carried out by Barclays Private Clients in May 2003, Congleton was placed thirty first in the "real wealthiest" places to live in England. The survey looked at the average salary in each area and then took into account the local cost of living to work out the real disposable income. The reasearch found that the top ten places in the survey were all in the North-West.
During the summer months, a stroll through the Public Parks (including The historic Congleton Park) will find you amazed with the floral colours and displays. All thanks to Congletons green fingered council team. Children will also love the many play areas around the borough too.
If it is cycling or walking you are looking for or other outdoor pursuits such as golf, fishing and bird watching, then the natural beauty and landscape of the Congleton area can provide the perfect backdrop.
