Performing Arts Ministry

Welcome to Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association’s Performing Arts Ministry for children and youth! Here, creativity becomes a spiritual journey. Whether stepping on stage for the first time or returning for another joyful season, your child’s experience is part of a broader ministry designed to nurture hearts, grow faith, and reflect Christ’s light in every rehearsal and performance.

The mission of the Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association, rooted in Wesleyan-Holiness theological heritage, is to provide opportunities for spiritual birth, growth, and renewal through worship, educational, cultural, and recreational programs for persons of all ages in a Christian seaside setting.
