RMCNews – Denver, Colorado … The Rocky Mountain Conference (RMC) is pleased to announce that Nathaniel Gamble has accepted the call to be the new vice president for Administration. Gamble presently serves as RMC’s Public Affairs and Religious Liberty (PARL) director, member of the RMC Executive Committee, and lead pastor of the Grand Junction district of churches on the Western Slope of Colorado. He will maintain his role as PARL director and begin his new administrative role for the conference on August 1.
“I am excited to have Nathaniel join our administrative team here in the Rocky Mountain Conference. His love for Jesus and pastoral experience, coupled with strong administrative skills, will be a great blessing for our conference family,” praised Dave VandeVere, RMC president.
Gamble was born and raised in the Rocky Mountain Conference region and received his Bachelor of Arts in Religion from Pacific Union College in Angwin, California, and his Master of Arts in Theology from the Denver Seminary in Littleton, Colorado. He is currently finishing his Doctor of Philosophy in Systematic Theology from the Calvin Theological Seminary in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
“We are very excited that the Lord has been preparing Nathaniel for this type of work and that he is willing to accept this position. He has the administrative skills that are essential to the role, plus a deep theological understanding. RMC is blessed to have him join the leadership of the conference,” remarked Doug Inglish, current RMC vice president for Administration.
Serving RMC since 2019, Gamble has held several lead and district pastor positions, chaired the Mile High Academy (MHA) Board from 2021-2025, and served as the conference’s PARL director since 2022. In his pastoral roles, he facilitated training, mediation, and safety at his local churches, and created the MHA Bylaws and Constitution committee that drafted a new constitution for the academy. Gamble has also contributed to the Adventist position against Christian Nationalism and is a published author with the North American Division (NAD) Ministerial Association.
“It is a great honor, privilege, and weighty responsibility to serve the members and workers of the Rocky Mountain Conference in the capacity of vice president of Administration,” remarked Gamble. “While I did not actively seek this position, God and RMC have called me to this role, and I am heartily willing to serve according to the Lord’s grace.”
“I see [this] role as uniquely situated to encourage and promote compassion and listening to each other throughout the Conference, so I’m looking forward to using my administrative abilities to continue building up unity and mission between the schools, churches, pastors, teachers, and church members in RMC,” he continued.
“I ask the members of RMC to keep me in their prayers so that I continually pursue humility, obedience, and attentiveness to Jesus as I execute the responsibilities of this role on behalf of my brothers and sisters. Thank you for the trust you have placed in me.”
Gamble is joined by his ministry partner and wife, Alex, and toy poodle puppy, Johnny. He enjoys learning Colorado and Wyoming history and exploring ghost towns. You will also find Gamble spending time reading Greek poetry, learning about Christian communities in Jerusalem, and losing at chess.
