MORIAH HEIGHTS, CALIFORNIA—The water tank at the Moriah Heights property collapsed late last year. It lasted 62 years, well beyond its original life-span. But now there is an urgent need to get the water system up and running.
The Moriah Heights property houses the Whispering Pines Christian School, Plymouth Leadership College, Moriah Heights Church, Moriah Heights Conference Center, Moriah Heights Residence Community, and is the host for a wide array of church conferences, functions, and events, including the 2018 Summer Music Camp.
