Thank You

For over 150 years, the Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association (OGCMA) has provided opportunities for people of all generations to know and grow in Jesus through spiritual birth, growth, and renewal. Ocean Grove remains a Christian seaside community, a special place where everyone can be refreshed and renewed by the beauty of God’s creation at the beach—God’s square mile on the Jersey Shore.

As a special thank you to full-time clergy for their faithful service, the Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association offers two complimentary seasonal beach badges to enjoy Ocean Grove beaches this summer. Beginning this season, only clergy who live full-time in
