"Bill (Rev. Bill J. Farmar, who the barn was named after) had a dream that one day West Virginia Baptists
would have a conference center that
would be more than a camp site. It
would be a year-round center where
the constituents could retreat from
their everyday routines and
responsibilities and find a beautiful
setting in which heart, mind and soul
could be inspired to new heights of
worship, discipleship and service."
      "I've Been to the Mountaintop"
      A History of Parchment Valley

Parchment Valley Conference Center

Parchment Valley Conference Center draws its existence from a rich history of Baptist dreams. About to embark on its 50th year, Parchment Valley has been the setting for many life events, business and company trainings, camps, retreats, and church picnics, reunions, and services.
Boasting a gorgeous 1300 acres, a clear vision of the West Virginia Baptist Convention has led us to the beautiful and efficient facilities we have today with much more in store.

With a rich history and clear future, as well as buildings for all your needs, Parchment Valley Conference Center is ready to host your event! "Come to the Valley" and experience God through retreat, inspiration and opportunity!
