Scott & Jodie Wendal
Thank you for visiting. I am the senior pastor of Valley Forge Baptist, an exciting and growing church in Collegeville, Pennsylvania. I hope that our church will be an encouragement to you as you join our congregation in praising our Lord. My heart is to strengthen and grow families and to help people discover a deeper relationship with God.
Growing up I moved from Middletown, Pennsylvania to Texas, and then to Virginia. It was in Fairfax, Virginia where I was saved and my life was changed. God worked in my heart to become a pastor and after going to college and interning in a church, God allowed me to start Valley Forge Baptist. I have been the senior pastor at Valley Forge Baptist for almost 40 years now and God has blessed us incredibly! I have the pleasure of having my lovely wife serving alongside of me. Together we have five children: Matthew, Jeremy, Megan, Scotty, and Amber.

Explore 40 years of God’s faithfulness to Valley Forge Baptist.
God called the Israelites to setup stones of remembrance to commemorate what God had done for them. As we celebrate over 40 years of ministry, we remember what God has done for us. Ever wonder what the first service was like, or what our first church building was? You can find it all, and much more, at our online historical archive.
Our Story
Valley Forge Baptist started as a dream in the early 1980s by a Bible college student named Scott Wendal. While working under the leadership of Pastor Bud Calvert, Scott saw the need outside of Philadelphia and was directed by God to start a church in the King of Prussia area. The church held its first services in various locations before settling into the Upper Merion Middle School. As the church grew, it moved into its first permanent location on Rt. 113 and Black Rock Rd. and continued to expand with an education wing added in 2001 and a Family Life Center opened in 2004. Throughout its history, God has continued to strengthen and build up the church.
