About New
Hope
New Hope's desire is to be an expression of Christianity with
a contemporary edge; exploring new ways of being church which are
relevant today whilst remaining true to its biblical roots. We want
to be a church where those who want to explore what Christianity
is all about can do so in a way that relates to real life in our
culture, and in a non threatening way. We believe that Jesus offers
new hope to any who seek it.
A Brief History
The church was planted out from Poynton Christian Fellowship
on the 14th December 1997. Members from PCF and their children left
to start the new church in Cheadle Hulme, led by Christian Life
Fellowship's senior minister Glyn Thomas and his wife Betty.
On 11th November 2001
Trevor and Michelle Mobbs moved from Poynton Christian Fellowship
to take on the leadership of the church. This has allowed Glyn to
oversee the work of CLF and to focus more on the work of Light and
Life ministries, the international training and social concern work
of CLF.
We celebrated the start
of 2002 with a new name - New Hope Community Church. Our vision
is to see a Spirit filled church planted in the heart of the community
of Cheadle Hulme, sharing the good news that new hope can be found
in Jesus Christ.
In September 2008 the
leadership was taken on by Anthia Frank, Roland Ogden and Andrew
Renshaw, working under the oversight of Glyn Thomas and Andrew Allan,
and continuing the exciting journey of New Hope.
New Hope Community Church
and Poynton
Christian Fellowship together form Christian Life Fellowships.
Our two churches work together in close partnership with common
funds and oversight. We are part of the Assemblies
of God denomination, and are members of the Evangelical
Alliance.
In the early years we
met for worship at the Waterside Hotel in Didsbury, but we are delighted
to have our own premises at 6a Station Road, Cheadle Hulme.
