The mission of the Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association, rooted in our Methodist heritage,
is to provide opportunities for spiritual birth, growth and renewal for people of all ages in a
Christian seaside setting.
The Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association (OGCMA) Board of Trustees is searching for a
dynamic, energized senior staff person, the Chief Operating Officer, who God is calling to lead
our exciting and growing multi-faceted ministry. To support our mission we have a vibrant
summer program, and an expanding schedule in the other three seasons centered on the Word
of God expressed in worship, cultural, recreational and educational programs. Programs are
supported by a solid donor base, an historic 6,000 seat auditorium, both retreat and youth centers,
a variety of other program spaces, and a half mile of beach located on the Jersey Shore in an
oceanfront town halfway between NYC and Philadelphia. In recent years, successful innovations
have included the Willow Creek's Global Leadership Summit simulcast, a new lecture series, a
beachfront worship service, and weeknight Bible studies on the beach to meet the changing needs
of local churches and our constituency.
The COO position requires a proven leader who demonstrates commitment to Christ in servanthood,
spiritual maturity, and a desire to make disciples. Reporting to the President and Board of Trustees,
direct reports include professionals in Program, Development, Operations and Finance who oversee
an in-season staff of 300. Candidates must demonstrate a proven record of leadership applying business
