Meet Our Staff
In the early spring of 2025, several families in and around the Whitewater area began prayerful meetings with the hope of establishing a Bible-believing, Christ-worshiping church here in this community. Today, we are an Elder-led church, and we'd love you to meet the staff that served in leadership here.
Daniel Holly
Pastor
Daniel and his wife Elizabeth have made Whitewater their home since 2008, and have served in many areas of the church in that time, including leading children's ministries and youth pastorships. A native of Milton, Daniel did his undergraduate work here at UW-W and was able to spend some years teaching there, and operating a college apologetics ministry. He is a lover of antiques, literature, history, and spends most of his free time as a writer for teens and young adults, when not helping homeschool their three daughters.
Bill Kostock
Elder
Bill Kostock has served as church planter and absolutely-incredibly fantastic Elder here at Abundant Hope since before its beginning. This Renaissance man is a (sort of) retired plumber and excellent handyman, passionate about small church communities growing where the Gospel needs spreading. He hopes to continue growing Abundant Hope, in the days to come as we strive to spread the Gospel and be a true a church community. He provides us with leadership, and weekly coffee, which of course is a gift of God.
James Fischer
Elder
James Fischer not only serves as one of our Elders here at Abundant Hope, but fulfills most of the A/V and technical needs of the church. When not ministering in those capacities, he owns and operates Trident Driver's School out of Elkhorn, as he has for many years, guided by a passion for the safety and competence of his students and the gift of their lives, values he likewise brings to Abundant Hope. He has served in similar capacities in churches for many years in and around the Whitewater area, and we are blessed to have him.
