Ocean Grove: a community of tents, worship, and fellowship

I Love this Place ❤️

I attended the Bill Gothard Seminar in the 70's and there was not an empty seat. Our Christian heritage is what made America great. Our belief in the Creator and his Son the Messiah sent to redeem a fallen race. This is the last generation before the great harvest. Thy kingdom come Lord

I love Ocean Grove for the Faith based center that it is, and I get spiritual inspiration every time here. I've attended services of St. Paul's Church on the boardwalk, and my niece Karin and husband Tim were married in that Methodist Church.My cousin Cheryl and her husband Joe had a cottage on Abbott Ave., and I attended a prayer service on the boardwalk. The beach, boardwalk and the stores and eating places are great, God Bless Ocean Grove.

What the heck man, looks interesting, got to be able to afford two months off work, but I like the social aspect of it if you can swing it of course, and it's a shame there has to be that common delusion binding them together I mean if it were something more universal and beautiful, lose the jesus and it could be terrific. This is not trolling I don't care to argue but it is an open forum for comments and opinions so there.

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHERE DO I SIGN UP!

Scotty... Ocean Grove is a beautiful peaceful town...stay away please.. Don't bring your negativity here.

Of course, the idea that it isn't a delusion and the reason the social aspect exists is because Christianity has something to offer hasn't even occurred to you. Sad.
