    The only reason why I give 2 stars is because it is a beautiful church, everything else gets a 0…read morestar. I recently had my wedding there and 2 things which really rubbed me the wrong way. 1. First off they would not us even speak with us until we sent a check for like 600 dollars. At least they could have spoken with us before we give them money. Then once we paid and we went in to speak with the priest the first thing receptionist said and looked for is if we paid them and we make weekly donations, if we didn't make donations every week they wouldn't let us get married 2. The priest was the biggest douchebag ever. This is my wedding day, greatest day of my life and he was an absolute dick and rude to me and my wife. During the ceremony he yelled at us for a few reasons, one was because we were laughing and enjoying the moment. Having babies in the crowd they would make noises and it made us laugh and look back at them which when we did he said to us "turn around and pay attention". Seriously dude stop molesting children and stop taking shit so seriously. Plus at the rehearsal dinner, he didn't know our names and called my wife by a wrong name, and we told him multiple times. 1000s of dollars and can't remember our names If you can deal with a church not caring about you and only care about money (which all churches only care about money), a an asshole priest then this is the place r for your wedding.

    Gorgeous church. Both of them. Be careful with gps. It takes you to the one church and the other is…read moreon 3rd and Ludlow.

    Wow. Just wow! Seating for a few thousand and a beautiful 2025 Christmas Pageant/Nativity. So…read morebeautiful and a tree lighting ceremony, too. Ocean Grove is a National treasure and a pride of the Methodist Church.

    Long before the trashiness of Wildwood, the tragedy of Atlantic City, or even the boardwalk bluster…read moreof Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, NJ beach culture was largely defined by a bunch of teetotaling, bible-thumping, tent-raising Methodists. At the height of the so-called Camp Meeting movement in the late 19th century, American Methodists regularly convened massive summer religious retreats on remote beach locations far from the sinful cities. Popular locations included Martha's Vineyard, Rehoboth Beach in Delaware (a personal favorite), and, of course, the "Queen of the Victorian Camp Meeting," Ocean Grove, NJ. Few places give you such a concentrated dose of NJ weirdness as Ocean Grove, especially when contrasted with nearby Asbury Park, which is just a short boardwalk away. Then and now, the heart of Ocean Grove remains The Great Auditorium: a massive 1894 wooden barn-like structure built for church services that also contains "one of the largest pipe organs of the world." Walking around the ancient auditorium and the nearby Victorian homes, you feel like you've walked onto the set of some seaside mystery or horror movie. Lurking in the shadow of the Great Auditorium, you can still see the famed "tent colony" of Ocean Grove--another holdover from the town's Victorian beach days. Every summer, families can enjoy 1870s-style luxuries like living in a canvas tent with no air conditioning and limited access to running water. For some reason, there's a long waitlist for this privilege, which I will never understand.
