Leadership Team

Hello, my name is Simon!

I am the Minister here at Aston Clinton Baptist Church. I have been in ministry for 13 years, which includes two other previous churches, and have been married for almost as long! That must have been a busy year! I was trained at Birmingham Bible Institute and Westhill College, Birmingham University.

I am passionate about my faith, and I truly believe in a God who can make a difference to us all in the 21^stcentury. I believe in a powerful Holy Spirit who can change lives, if we open up to him. I have other passions too. I love my wife and children dearly and having holidays with them is always something I look forward to. I play Squash as regularly as I can, and I think I play the game pretty well for a ‘Vicar.’ I enjoy photography when I get chance, and open spaces are always a pleasure. I like cooking and am happy to dabble in alternative cuisine!

But more than these things, I want to welcome you to our Church. Please come along and see for yourself what Christianity is really like. Our services aren’t dull and we cater for all ages. I am sure that anyone coming into the Church will sense the presence of God as we worship. Take care.

God bless you,

Simon Downing
