Photo Galleries
Below are photo galleries of our pool construction project and some historical photos that can give you a little taste of the history and legacy we have here at Pine Valley Bible Conference Center. The pool construction project began in the summer of 2008 and was finished with water in the pool in the spring of 2011.

Steve, our Executive Director is here with Willis and Bev Fagan
Willis designed and drew the plans for the pool...
He would not want me to tell you what he charged for the project, or should we say, didn't charge.
What a great guy.

On April 6th the plasters came out and did their magic...later that very day Jim was filling the new pool with real H2O!!!

As soon as the pool was full Jim and Kris and Ginny went swimming....photos to follow.
