Leadership & Values

Meet the Pastors!

Lead and Executive Pastors Hannah and Bryan grew up in the Ithaca area with a passion for the Finger Lakes region to be revived by God. They have been ministering together for over 10 years in New York and across the world. Both have lived over seas and have a heart to see the nations encounter Jesus! The Wakemans love to worship and began their leadership journey as worship leaders. They are committed to leading a multi-generational team of leaders and seeing their area and community thrive in Jesus! Their hearts are to see people awakened to their identity in Christ and walk in every day revival in the power of the Holy Spirit. They celebrated a new baby in 2025!

In addition to leading Thrive Church, Hannah coaches pastors and non profit executive directors. Bryan is a freelance bookkeeper. They also have some of recorded some of their original worship.
