VFCC in Focus:

Valley Forge Christian College offers a growing list of majors from business to social work, children’s ministry to church planting. VFCC is focused on equipping students with the tools necessary for service and leadership in the church and in the world.

A caring, committed faculty mentors students in and out of the classroom, inspiring them to pursue excellence academically, spiritually, physically and socially. The personal interactions between students, faculty and staff create an intimate community where the students are known by name and not by an ID number.

Chapel is a highlight of each day with dynamic speakers and inspirational worship. Opportunities abound for ministry-minded students as outreaches to several major cities are planned each year. Overseas trips give students the chance to experience missions first hand.

Campus facilities have undergone dramatic changes over the past several years. The newest building, Cardone Hall, opened in fall of 2007, provides eleven state-of-the-art classrooms and lecture halls. Audio and video studios provide access to cutting edge media tools regardless of your field of interest. At Valley Forge Christian College students are challenged to go beyond themselves, embrace their faith and change their world.
