Jonathan Atkinson

Jonathan has been married to his wife, Lisa, for 22 years. They have two wonderful daughters who have accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Jonathan is employed by Atlantic Constructors, Inc. as a structural steel estimator. Jonathan was born and raised in the Mechanicsville area in a Christian home. It wasn’t until after becoming a father that he really realized that it was his responsibility to be the spiritual leader in his home. That was when he started to question his own salvation and came to the realization that he was in need of a Savior. In July of 2005, he gave his life to Christ and was baptized. One of Jonathan’s favorite set of verses is Psalm 145:4–6, which helped him come to the realization that it is our responsibility to tell the younger generation about God and His Salvation. God has given Jonathan a passion not only to teach his own children about Christ, but others as well. Jonathan has attended Harvest since its inception and currently serves as one of our 3rd – 5th grade children’s Sunday School teachers and as our youth group leader. Jonathan has also served Harvest as a deacon. Some of his favorite hobbies are hunting (anything that moves) and coaching basketball (go Richmond Spirit Warhawks!).
