Valley Forge Baptist Temple began as a dream in the heart of a Bible college student back in the early 1980's. Then intern, Scott Wendal, was continuing his eduaction under the leadership of Pastor Bud Calvert of Fairfax Baptist Temple, in Fairfax, Virginia. It was while working there that God showed Pastor Wendal the great need outside of the city limits of Philadelphia. God directed Pastor Wendal to the King of Prussia area and opened the door for the start of the church. The first services were held in a number of locations but God placed the young church into the Upper Merion Middle School for those first few years.

As God blessed, the church grew. In 1989 Valley Forge Baptist Temple moved into its first permanent home- at its present location on the corner of Rt. 113 and Black Rock Rd. It has been a growing process ever since. In 1996, our current auditorium was complete. An education wing was added in 2001, and our Family Life Center opened its doors in 2004.

Buildings were not the only things changing. God has continued to strenghten and build-up his people. We have seen wonderful opportunities for growth and challenge.

 

It matters not what walk of life you come from- we are all seeking to be more like Christ! You may find yourself sitting next to the teller from your bank, a local high school teacher, a CEO, or a stay- at-home mom. God has brought together a wonderful "family" of believers and we are sure that you will feel right at home.

But ye shall reveive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. Acts 1:8

God has called us to be a light in the darkness. But we do not only attempt to be a ligh thouse in this community, but a ray of hope to the whole world. We endeavor to reach out, to throw a life line, to bring hope to the hopeless here and abroad. Jesus was very specific. Some call it the Great Commission, but around he we like to say it is the Great Privilege.
