connection center & GREETING ministries
My wife Bea and I found Upwards Jarrell in 2021. We love the family atmosphere and are grateful for the opportunity to serve. I worked in the Healthcare field in various roles for 19 years (most recently as a Physical Therapist Assistant), before venturing out to serve my community as a fitness coach. We have 4 dogs now, and hope to have as many as 5 kids, God willing! I serve as the Connection Center Ministry Leader & Couples Connect Group Leader. Please let me know if you'd like to greet or assist our guests at the Jarrell Campus!

facilities & Landscaping ministries
My husband and I began repairing and maintaining our church building to serve God with the gifts He gave us. We have three children and enjoy helping with the Children’s & Cleaning Ministry also. If you’re a handy person and would like to help keep our facility cleaned and/or maintained, please contact us.
Caitlin Hamaker
Kids Ministry
I started attending Upwards Church in 2018. My husband, Jordan and I have 2 boys and wanted to raise them in a church that loves God and loves people, and Upwards Church is just that!
Co-Directing Kid’s Ministry with Cheryl Raeke has been a huge blessing and so much fun. I love to see the kids of our community being so excited to come to church and to learn about how amazing Jesus is. I look forward to seeing you and your kids Sunday morning!
"Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it."
Proverbs 22:6

I am very blessed to serve alongside Caitlin Hamaker as Co-Director of Upwards Kid Ministry. I have served in the Children's Ministry since our daughters were very young. My passion is helping children become excited and grow in their faith journey! I consider it an honor, privilege, and joy sharing the love of Jesus and God’s Word with our children each week.
I am married to my best friend Charlie. We love spending time with family & supporting our four grandsons in their school and extracurricular activities.
I can’t wait for you and your family to join us this Sunday for Worship and Kid Min! Please contact me if you have questions about Upwards Kid Ministry or would like to serve and become part of our team.

dani sybert
youth Ministry & PRESCHOOL DIRECTOR
I attended Anderson University to study Christian Ministries in 2006. Since then, I have been involved with youth in one way or another, both as a minister, with young life and even coaching sports teams. As a wife and mother of three, I feel so strongly that God has called me to this particular area to lead a preschool ministry as well as a youth group to minister our children in knowing Christ. Please contact me for more information on our Jarrell Campus preschool or youth group!
