A bit about Roger Jones...

Born in Birmingham in 1948, I went to School at Stechford Primary, Alston Juniors, Alston Boys and Saltley Grammar. I studied at the Birmingham School of Music (now Birmingham Conservatiore) and City of Birmingham Colege of Education, and taught at Aston Manor School, Birmingham.

I met and married Mary in 1972 whilst we were both at Grenfell Baptist Church, Alum Rock, and have also worshipped at St Stephen's Selly Hill (1978-81) and Christ Church Ward End (1981- ) where I have been involved as Director of Music, and Lay-Reader (Preacher).

I support Birmingham City & Warwickshire County Cricket Club.

At Aston Manor School I began as a Music Teacher in 1969. I became Head of Music, Head of Year, and in 1978 became Head of Lower School.

In 1984 we took the "major" decision to go full-time in Christian music ministry, supported by the East Birmingham Renewal Group. Details of this group and our activities may be seen in detail on: http://www.cmm.org.uk/

We have had four children, Tim, Andrew, Peter and Sally, and now have two grandchildren(to Tim & Emma): Michael and Bethany.
