Long before Ocean Grove became the beloved seaside community it is today, it was born out of one of the most remarkable religious movements in American history- the camp meeting tradition. Join Art James on August 17th for an engaging presentation tracing that story from the frontier revivals of the 1800s all the way to Ocean Grove's Founding in 1869. You'll hear about thundering preachers, the roots of a uniquely American tradition, and the passionate seekers whose faith literally shaped the ground we walk on.
