Johnny Hampton

Pastor to Students and their Parents

Johnny grew up in a small town in the middle of Wyoming where the deer and the buffalo roamed…seriously. He moved to Nampa about 10 years ago to go to college and hasn’t left. There’s just something about the smell that keeps him around. Johnny is married to Joye – his beautiful wife who happens to love students as much as he does! They have enjoyed 8 amazing years together. They have a one year old son named Caleb who keeps them busy and blesses their lives every day. Johnny enjoys watching a good movie, spending time with family and hanging out with friends. He is madly in love with Jesus Christ and feels like he is the luckiest person in the world to work with students who find that same kind of love.

Robert Poe

Jr. High Intern

Robert Poe is a senior at Northwest Nazarene University. He grew up in Nampa attending College Church and is really excited to be able to now serve with the youth ministry. He is excited to be working with students and that he has the opportunity and privilege to be involved in their lives. As a random side note, Robert also enjoys having the ability to eat cereal out of the dip in his chest. He knows, you’re jealous.

Dustin Johnson

Skate Ministry Intern

Dustin Johnson is a senior at Northwest Nazarene University, majoring in Philosophy and Religion. He is married to Amanda who works at Starbucks. While not studying, doing homework, or sleeping, Dustin enjoys playing his X-box and watching TV. In addition to running the skate ministry, he helps out with the Jr. Highers on Sunday's and Wednesday's. His dream meal would consist of pepperoni pizza, Dr. Pepper, and all the cookie dough ice cream he could handle.

Jenna Redmond

Youth Intern

Jenna is junior at NNU. She grew up in a small Dutch town in Washington - a town full of windmills, klompen dancing and immaculate lawns. Jenna was called to missions as a little girl, and is excited to serve the youth at College Church as part of this journey. Jenna enjoys thrift store shopping, knitting, canoeing and other lovely activities. She looks forward to getting to know the youth of College Church, and feels incredibly blessed to be a member of such a beautiful community.

Ben Cremer

Sr. High Youth Intern

Ben is a graduate from NNU with a BA in Christian Ministries. He is also getting his Master's degree in Spiritual Formation through the online program at NNU. He loves the youth in the Upper Room as well as his co-workers and magnificent leader Johnny Hampton. Ben enjoys fly-fishing, paint-balling, video games, and music. He honestly never feels closer to Christ than when he is in conversation with people, looking over God's beautiful creation, worshiping with his favorite music, and/or delving into the Holy Scriptures. He loves the Lord with all his heart and hopes that he can truly be the invisible servant for his God; that when he is looked upon, he himself is not seen but Christ is seen through him and his actions. He has had so much fun getting to know the Upper Room as his place of ministry and is really looking forward to what God has in store for him.
