Joel Atkinson

Joel Atkinson is originally from Lima, OH. He came to Redeemer in the fall of 2019 after moving to the city. He appreciates the community he has found here. He loves having a community where he feels safe to be vulnerable in all areas of life - the highs and the lows. 

Joel grew up in a Christian home and came to faith as a small child. He feels called to the role of deacon to live out his theology in very practical ways. God has blessed Redeemer, and he is excited about the opportunity to use those blessings to meet the material needs of our congregation and community. 

In his free time, Joel loves catching a movie at Kan-Kan, riding his bike on the Monon, and reading fiction for his book club. He also has a growing list of favorite restaurants in the city. He is always happy to give a recommendation.
