Echo Hill Staff

Pastor Bill Warhover: My wife Donna and I live in Robins. They have three grown children (Matt, Erin, and Martha), a daughter in law (Cathy) and son in law (Tim) and three grandchildren (Ian, Aidenn, and Lily). They love to be outside – gardening, walking, grilling, kayaking, and camping (well at least one of them likes camping). Bill served churches in St Louis, MO and Miles, IA before coming to Echo Hill.

“I am excited about being a part of a community of faith that is discovering the new things that God is doing in our midst. Come and join us.”

Noelle Andrew: My journey has taken me a variety of paths; however the road has always been filled with a heart for love and service to God’s Kingdom. Native to Iowa, I love the Midwest, the change of seasons, and most of all the people of the heartland. It was during this time, God was shaping me for something of which I could not comprehend. I joined a Presbyterian church, and quickly found myself immersed in community. I was not prepared for what God had in store for me, as through others, attending Seminary was part of God’s plan. I attended the University of Dubuque Theological Seminary, where I met the love of my life, Mike Andrew. In my free time, one could find me on a nature trail, camping, or scrap booking. We are anxiously waiting the day when we get to bring our daughter home from China.

James Thompson: I joined the staff at Echo Hill in September of 2009 and feel very blessed to be a part of this church family. Being at Echo Hill allows me to do something that has shaped my life: Worship God through the making of music. In addition to Echo Hill, I am a Doctor of Musical Arts candidate in Vocal Performance and Pedagogy at the University of Iowa, the Assistant Director of Choral Activities at City High School in Iowa City, and serve as Adjunct Professor of Voice at Cornell College in Mt. Vernon. Faith, family, and music are the pillars of my life, and I thank God often for my wife of almost three years, Maria. In our free time, Maria and I are avid fans of the Iowa Hawkeyes, and enjoy attending football games and wrestling meets. We also enjoy spending time with friends and family and watching movies.
