HISTORY
In the fall of 1961, two couples from Colorado attended a supporting ministries convention at Oak Haven in Pullman, Michigan. There, Harold and Effie Grosboll, with Pete and Ann Borris, were deeply impressed that they should become involved in the establishment of a self-supporting institution. They went back to Colorado in search of a suitable site. Twelve miles west of Loveland, they located 600 acres of land for sale. It was in a lovely, secluded valley, in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, already known as Eden Valley.
The men lost no time in selling their nursing home in Boulder, Colorado, and reinvesting the entire proceeds in the Eden Valley property. Building work commenced, and soon a nursing home was ready for occupancy. Workers' residences, a shop, and other essential buildings were completed and Eden Valley Institute was open for ministry.
In 1982, a lifestyle center was started to reach out to those who were in health crisis. Implementing God's natural laws of health outlined in the Bible in our treatments, our guests experienced rest, healing, and peace in the beautiful nature surrounding Eden Valley. More importantly, they were brought to the knowledge of Jesus, who alone can give true healing both physically and spiritually.

Our organic farm brings wonderful, fresh produce to the table complementing the exercise, massage, hydrotherapy, and other holistic approach to healing.
Through the subsequent years, with its cycles of growth, changes of leadership, challenging times and years of plenty, God's leading and blessings were in abundant evidence. Evangelistic outreaches in the nearby cities of Estes Park and Ft. Collins resulted in church plants in those communities.
Over the next decade, the influence of Eden Valley progressed far beyond the local community as staff and students began to answer God's call sacrificially serving around the world.
Supporting ministries were established in South and Central America, Korea, Japan, India, Africa, Mexico, Canada, Poland, and China. Many of these ministries still serve to bring the gospel to a lost and dying world.
Today, as cancer and other lifestyle diseases are on a dramatic rise, and the cost of medicine is on an even faster rise, Eden Valley cannot meet the needs and demands in our current facility. A Master Plan has been developed and by God's grace, been approved by the Larimer County Planning Commission, a huge hurdle. Included in the Master Plan is a request to build a new lifestyle center to meet the needs of the community and those from around the world.
