Eighty-seven years ago, a seed went into the ground. The University of Valley Forge began as an act of faith, and for nearly nine decades, it did what a seed is meant to do. It grew, and it multiplied. Every student who walked that campus and went out to preach, to serve, to plant churches and carry the Gospel to the nations became part of a harvest that is still being gathered around the world. Today, we honor it, and we thank God for what those years produced.
We won't pretend this news is easy. A closing is a real loss, and we're grieving with the students, faculty, and staff who answered Godโs call and made Valley Forge home. But those who sow in tears still reap with joy. A field can go quiet without the harvest ending, because the fruit of nearly nine decades isn't stored in a building. It's alive in pulpits, mission fields, and neighborhoods all over the world, and it is still growing.
To the students of Valley Forge: you are part of that harvest, and the seed God planted in you did not stop growing. Your calling didn't close when your school did. The work He began in you is still underway, and the fields are still ready.
If you're wondering what comes next, know that you're not alone. The paths that Valley Forge has already opened for you at Eastern University, Messiah University, and Southeastern University are great places to begin. Also know that we believe the schools of the Assemblies of God Alliance for Higher Education across our Fellowship are ready to help you keep growing and finish what you've started. There are more open fields than you can see from where you're standing. Don't grow weary, and don't set your calling on the shelf. In due season, your steadfastness will reap a harvest for the Lord.
We're praying for every UVF student, faculty, and staff member in this season.
Grieving and grateful with you,
President Trent Roberts and the Northpoint College family
