A new church was launched in Sandbach, Cheshire on Easter Sunday.
Grace Church Sandbach is a church plant involving about 50 members from Wheelock Heath Baptist Church in Winterley, Cheshire.
Sandbach is a pleasant and prosperous market town (which still needs Jesus!) just a mile from the M6. It has been ‘discovered’ in recent years, attracting many new cafés and restaurants and also large housing developments. Historically its claim to fame is the two large stone crosses in the cobbled market square dating from around the ninth century, elaborately carved with biblical scenes and considered by English Heritage to be ‘among the finest examples of Anglo-Saxon high crosses’.
