Craig Hammersmith

When he’s not hanging out with students, Craig enjoys long walks on the beach, playing frisbee, woodworking and Hardcore music. His heart for students comes out in the form of mentoring and teaching students to be leaders. Craig’s love for Hardcore music comes from the adrenaline the scene offers and the desire to reach a group of students who have been left behind and wounded from life. He desires to follow Jesus without letting religion get in the way.

Ian Johnson

Ian has been a part of Highline's youth ministry since 2008.  He was born in Colorado, is the oldest of 7 children.  Main hobbies are snowboarding, music, baseball, fitness/nutrition.  Ian loves spending time with friends, family and youth and is constantly learning more about God via his relationships with students! 

Nicole Kendrick

Nicole is in grad school and works for a nonprofit. While not working or doing school work, Nicole can be found at local parks scrounging for beet nuts. Nicole is married to Chris, but their contract is up for revaluation this spring.

She secretly aspires to rule the world.

Chris Kendrick

Chris is currently at Denver Seminary studying the Old Testament. While frequenting the hot dog buffet at local convenience stores, Chris also enjoys cold slurpees as he strolls down the streets looking for lost dogs to donate to his favorite Mongolian BBQ. Besides long walks on the beach, bubble baths, and coloring with crayons, he is a romantically challenged "person" who suckered Nicole into a contractual relationship agreement (aka, marriage). The end.

Dana Smith

A true Colorado Native!  Taking advantage of all that CO has to offer, playtime consists of: rock climbing, ice climbing, snowboarding, motorcycles, camping, hiking, and on the occasional rest day even some reading.  Although it seems the goal is to collect as many helmets you can by doing activities that require them (even reading sometimes can get dangerous!), experiencing God's beauty though exploration of His creation on Earth and His design in all things is a great JOY and gives PEACE to the spirit!  Personal mottoes include: 2 Tim 4:7 "Fight the good fight, finish the race, and keep the faith", "Impossible is Nothing", and "Hero: a man admired for his achievements and noble qualities, one that shows great courage."

Sara Stainbrook

Sara is a counseling licensure student at Denver Seminary and has lived in CO for 18 months. Sara married her tall, dark, and handsome husband 4 years ago. She is a native of Minnesota and spent two years teaching and traveling around South Korea and South East Asia with her husband. Sara enjoys traveling, running, a good game of hostage, and long walks on the beach.

Nathan Warren

Nathan was born and raised in the Mile High city, but for some reason has a liking for the Nebraska Cornhuskers. No one seems to understand why this is, but he takes a lot of criticism for it. He has been assisting with the youth ministry at Highline for a little less than 3 years, and has still maintained his sanity. This is truly a work of God! He continues his education at CCU working on his Biblical Studies degree.

Jonny West

Adopted by a couple under mysterious circumstances, Jonny was raised on a farm.  He spent most of high school trying to fit in but would often fall ill when exposed to green rocks that were native to his home.  Now at seminary Jon is constantly seen sporting a spandex like blue undershirt which he often tries to hide.  Many believe he is secretly training for the Olympics but this has not been confirmed.  Other evidence is Jonny's constant lateness and poor excuses for his lateness.  He also loves comic books.
