Meet Derek Lam…

Logic Bible Teacher

Derek Lam and his wife, Stacy, grew up in the Roanoke Valley and graduated from Glenvar High School. He was raised in a loving church and came to saving faith in Christ Jesus as an older teen. He is a graduate of James Madison University (B.A.), Virginia Commonwealth University (B.S., M.A.T.), Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary (M.Div.) and Knox Theological Seminary (D.Min.). Through the years Derek has worked as a construction laborer, an educator at the Science Museum of Virginia, a middle and high school science teacher, and a church youth director. He presently serves as the lead pastor for Citylight Church, the church atop a hill near Grandin Village which shines “JESUS SAVES” in neon red.

Derek and Stacy have three daughters, three sons and a daughter-in-law. With this book’s abbreviation the same as their last name, they hold Lam. 3:22-24 as their family’s verses: “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. ‘The LORD is my portion,’ says my soul, ‘therefore I will hope in him.’”
