About Us
Our Team
This work is done by volunteers serving in the interest of community history, culture and preservation of the church site. Here in this image we see Teres and Delia sorting and documenting the inventory items in the historic St. Peter's Church.
Our History
The Echo Kiwanis Club took on halting degradation for the ole church in 2016. By Fall of 2018, Echo Kiwanis Club had fulfilled a second goal of sponsoring the new, independent Oregon non-profit -- Echo Heritage Association -- and raising $20,000 in seed funds.
Our Mission
The mission of the Echo Heritage Association is to preserve the history of Echo by restoring, preserving and enhancing the Echo St. Peter’s Church for the benefit of future generations and to create a business model dedicated to sustaining its preservation and use.
