Sunday School Director
William (Bill) Atkinson
Bill grew up in central Mississippi and was educated there in Business Administration, with an emphasis in Marketing. He moved to Alabama in 1990. He and his wife Jan have been married since 1967. They have two children, Chris and Robin. Chris is a pastor and teacher in Missouri and Robin is a teacher in Alabama. Bill is retired and he and Jan live in Southside.
Bill accepted Jesus as his Savior at the age of 13 and has been a follower of Christ ever since. He and Jan became members of Steele Baptist Church in 2003. Through the years Bill has served on several committees in the church. He and Jan faithfully update the messages on the church sign. He serves as an Usher and is active on the House and Grounds Committee. In 2020, Bill was ordained as a Deacon.
Bill desires to go into the community to share the plan of salvation and invite people to Steele Baptist Church. He wants lost and unchurched people to know Jesus loves them, our church family loves them, and they are always welcomed at our church.
