LVBC Staff

Senior Pastor

Roland Hammett

Pastor Roland Hammett joined the staff of Lehigh Valley Baptist Church in 1999 and served the church as youth director, assistant pastor, and now, presently, senior pastor. Roland came to Lehigh Valley Baptist Church with his family as a teenager. A few years later, he surrendered to the call of God to the ministry. He graduated from Emmaus Baptist Academy in 1995 and the Lehigh Valley Baptist Bible Institute in 1998. He received his bachelor's degree and later his master's degree from Great Plains Baptist Divinity School. He spent about a year interning at churches across the country before joining the staff of our church full-time in 1999 as the youth director. In 2010, Lehigh Valley Baptist Church voted to install Pastor Roland as senior pastor, as his father, Doug Hammett, was stepping down to follow God's call to be a missionary in the country of Botswana.

Chris Gable

Pastor Chris Gable joined the staff of Lehigh Valley Baptist Church in 2003. He spent the majority of his growing up years at the church and graduated from Emmaus Baptist Academy in 2001. Chris was saved as a teenager in the summer of 1998, and in 2003, after graduating from college with a degree in technology, he surrendered to the call of God on his life for the ministry. Chris graduated from the Lehigh Valley Baptist Bible Institute and received his Master's degree from Great Plains Baptist Divinity school in 2009, before stepping in as youth director later that same year. In 2017, Pastor Gable was ordained by Lehigh Valley Baptist Church as one of the pastors of the church. In addition to preaching on a weekly basis, Chris oversees our youth group and our weekly television program.
