- Please enjoy the spectacular music and charming Victorian homes of Ocean Grove, NJ. Ocean Grove is an unincorporated community located within Neptune Township, Monmouth County, New Jersey and located on the Atlantic Ocean's Jersey Shore. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Ocean Grove is noted for its abundant examples of Victorian architecture and the Great Auditorium, acclaimed as the state’s most wondrous wooden structure. Ocean Grove was founded in 1869 as an outgrowth of the camp meeting movement in the United States, when a group of Methodist clergymen formed the Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association to develop and operate a summer camp meeting site on the New Jersey seashore. The community's land is still owned by the camp meeting association and leased to individual homeowners and businesses. Ocean Grove remains the longest-active camp meeting site in the United States.

Scott, look at all the lives you have blessed! The Great Commission. To Love God and Love People. May our Lord continue to bless and keep you and bless your business.
Praise the Lord. Old camp meetings and come to Jesus meetings is exactly what our country and our citizens need!!! God bless. Jesus loves you!!!
My mother played the three keyboard pipe organ for the church, operated the town switchboard, and played on the girl’s basketball team in the 1920s-30s. She did all this even before graduating from high school. She raised 7 of us, none having musical talent nor athletic ability. She made sure we mastered country cooking. Thanks for the musical treat.
So wonderful to see so many people praising the Lord together ❤️ Seeing the beautiful architecture and all of the American flags was nice too. 🇺🇸 Thanks for sharing.
Amen. I have been struggling with sadness. This is exactly what was needed.
One of my favourite hymns,He lives.
Architecture was astounding.
WOOOWEEE!!!!! (Hallelujah. In Tennessee)!!!!! And for a little while ALL was right in the world!!! Thank you!!!! 🙏🙌💖👵🎶
Thanks Scott for giving a different, and more realistic, point of view of the Jersey Shore than the way it's usually portrayed in media.
Amen.
My pleasure. I want the world to know that the Jersey Shore is a unique place!
What a wonderful job you did putting this together! Its a lovely glimpse into cultural and regional history & I enjoyed it very much. ❤
Yes! it's iconic!
Thank you Scott for taking me to this awesome place. You have a nice singing voice! This was a wonderful beginning to my day it was totally awesome to listen to and to see all the architecture! Have a wonderful week!
Oh my goodness! Did you have to make me cry? The gift of beautiful singing voices (and dedicated hours of practice) are present here. We can all sing - not like that!! - but we can all sing. Lift your voices in whatever style of music you enjoy. The montage of the auditorium, beach and Victorian homes were so enjoyable. Thank you, Scott.
Absolutely beautiful! Praise be to God!!
Magnificent. Thanks for sharing more.
What Heavenly music! Thanks for taking us along with you. I enjoyed the choir and seeing the beautiful victorian homes. Amen!! 😇
What a beautiful place. I never heard of this place. The things you learn when not even expecting it. Neat.
What a beautiful victorian Building. The choir was great. But my favorite is the amazing Pipe Organ. What an amazing sound, absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for sharing. Please Stay Safe, Happy And Healthy. Have A Wonderful Day
Thanks for sharing, Scott. “He Lives!” Is one of my favorite old hymns!
My heart was full listening to the choir and organ. I can only imagine the elation you must have felt being there and hearing and experiencing it in person!
THANK YOU for taking us along to such a beautiful place of worship 🙏 My husband and I appreciate you so much!! We learn so much from you in regards to much more than just reselling. Please continue taking us with you...we love it!!! God bless you and enjoy the rest of your vacation. 😁
Love it Scott.
Happy Birthday Scott!! 🎂🎂 Thanks for sharing this with us.
Thanks, Scott, for sharing this. It was perfect to watch while I had my lunch. The music was wonderful and I bet it's thrilling to be there in person. The Heavens are Telling is one of my favs too. Loved seeing the "cottages" and tents in the surrounding area.
Wonderful in all ways!! Thanks!!! Hope you are as blessed as much as we all were.
Amazing and Wow👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. GREAT VIDEO AND GREAT CONTENT. THUMBS-UP ALWAYS!!!!!!!
This building is almost 1950/60's..so far ahead of is time in so many ways
Thank you so much for sharing the concert, the beautiful architecture, and also the sweet Spirit of this meeting with us. (Thanks for my refund for the blue nut dish shards! I was devastated even before I opened the package because I could hear it before I saw it. 😥😪
I was sad that the blue dish was smashed. It must have REALLY been tossed around!
I was doing genealogical research and read about the camp meetings the Methodists used to have here in the Northern Neck. . They were actual camps with cabins, they’d stay a week and have revival. There was a joke too about all the babies born 9 months after camp meeting. 😊. Enjoyed this very much thanks!
Thank you Scott for sharing this was awesome🙏❤️🤍💙 enjoy and sing your heart out to the Lord🙏🇺🇸🙏
Thanks so much for bringing us back to the Great Auditorium! We used to go to concerts there. We heard Peter Noone, Neil Sedaka, The Beach Boys and a few others. Loved walking throughout the quaint little town and seeing the decorated tents! We were fortunate to stay at one of the beautiful painted ladies!
Ah, the Victorians...those are my _people!_ 😬 Thank you for sharing the festivities, God bless those hugely talented singers. 🙏🏻 I have always wanted to see some Painted Ladies, so thank you, especially, for that footage! ❤️
"He lives" how can you help but sing along. At first I didn't hear your voice and thought what control you must have not to sing along, and then......there it was, your voice snuck in😊. So nice.
Absolutely fascinating and BEYOND beautiful!! Thank you SO much for sharing this with us. Simply stunning from the buildings to the voices!
I’ve always loved organ music. I used to watch The Joy of Music with Diane Bish when is was a kid.
Love me some Diane Bish!
The auditorium is spectacular Omgoodness! Thank you for sharing the music, both my folks were in church choirs their whole lives so the songs brought back some wonderful memories. Unfortunately I didn’t get the musical gene but am in awe of anyone who does. You have a beautiful voice Scott 👍🏻
You touched my heart ! Christine
Absolutely Beautiful. Thank you so much for making this video!
Scott, beautifully done. Ocean Grove is truly a magical place. I live in Monmouth County and we go to Ocean Grove occasionally to walk around tent city, they are adorable and all so different. It has a charming Main Street, very quaint. I remember as a child on Sunday's they would chain the road going in and out of town. No cars were allowed on Sunday to operate in town.I believe that changed in the 60's. It is also a dry town and that has not changed.
For some reason, the organ brought back memories of riding the carousel, at the near by Asbury Park Casino.
Thank you for this video. So nice to hear the choir. Lutherans love to sing too. The Methodist Camps are well-known in the south too. Beautiful music, I love it.
Come on up next summer and sing Lutherans!!!!!!!
Happy Birthday, Scott! Thank you so much for sharing this trip and glorious concert. I spent many years in the United Methodist Church and remember many of these hymns.
Bravo, thanks for sharing this wonderful and enjoyable presentation. I can't imagine being there in person. 💫
Fabulous houses,looked up the organ maker,with a name like Robert Hope Jones thought he may have been Welsh,he was born in Hooton near Liverpool the home of the Beatles,very interesting.Learn't yesterday that the Welsh settled in Pennsylvania and the language is spoken there still.
Thank you for sharing that wonderful experience with us. I know you had a great time and you made everything so interesting! 👍💕
Happy Belated Birthday Scott! Thank you for sharing this - just breathtaking ❤️
Happy Belated Birthday Scott! Beautiful video loved it, and those victorian homes were lovely,I do like Victorian antiques,thanks always for sharing
Thanks so much!
Absolutely thrilling !
Beautiful!
Happy belated birthday, Scott. That was a pretty great way to spend it.
Thank you, Scott. It was wonderful.
Thank you Scott it was spectacular 🥰
Beautiful
What a wonderful video! Belated birthday greetings, Scott. If I had known, I would have baked a cake. I would love to attend this camp meeting sometime, would they let an old Southern Baptist sneak in? We love to sing too.
Come on up and sing you Southern Baptists! And you don't have to sneak in!
@@oldcuriosityshop265 thanks, I might just. Until then, I will sing along here at home. Thanks again for the video, it was inspiring.
Love it! Thanks for sharing this Scott.
Love it. Love tent city, the beach. My brother showed me that area. His house is on bradley beach.
Bradley Beach is lovely!
Can’t believe it’s been a year since we first saw this video - you did such a great job sharing the music and history of the town and the organ too! We watched it again just now in preparation for July 9th - (I’m a tad excited). We booked a 3 day stay. I hope we get to see you there but if not, thank you for inspiring a fun road trip and experience.
YES....I'll be at the concert!
Monmouth is a county in Wales.Love the Neptune Township name.
I attended Methodist camps and camp meetings all my life....how precious were those times forever in my memory. Holiness unto the Lord was a sign in ours too. Thank you Scot! Oh....the only thing missing was the funeral fans.
Oh gosh yes the funeral fans. Well it was a cool breezy evening by the sea.
Scott...What a sincere treat...some songs I remember singing in Church when I was a kid...I particularly like Fanny Crosby's song... "This is my story"...to think she was blind when she wrote it ..what a testimony and blessing ...I don't know about you but I could Visualize the choir in 1890's and 1900's clothing ..What a real treat ... sincerely enjoyed!!!!
So glad you enjoyed!
Happy Belated Birthday! Are you sure this is the Jersey shore; no one looked like Snooki.
Your love of green and cream shows at 31.51minutes in
I feel like Noah’s Ark was the inspiration for the interior of this building. The ceiling looks like the ribs of a ship; and, of course, the windows have the traditional Ark look.
Oops! No captions. This sure is a beautiful building.
Thank you so much for sharing this, what a blessing ❤️
You are so welcome
you should come to the 2 ocean grove flea markets they do. I sell at both of them right on the lawn in front of the auditorium. A good show bringing lots of dealers and buyers
As a pastor’s kid who loves organ and choir music way more than she ever thought she would, 😁I somehow never knew of this beautiful place and event. I have goose bumps!
My calendar is marked and I’m excited for next year!
Beautifully filmed and just what we all need a bit more of. Thank you!
I'm so excited! I have an idea! Let's plan a "meet up" and ALL are welcomed! Make sure you book a room way in advance. You can find out next years dates by going to the Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association website. It would be fun to meet and all sit together. That is....IF I'm not singing with the choir!
Wonderful idea.I’ve already linked your video to my sister, researched the OG area and been on trip advisor for the past hour checking hotel ideas.😇
@@marydenny1 Keep me posted for summer of 2023!
Happily! Will update soon on where we may be staying and see what you think, but I’m not too picky - just being there to hear it all in person is the exciting part.
THANK YOU, DEAR FRIEND!!! I wish I was at this awesome place, amidst all the marvels! (P.S. Is anyone else having trouble sharing this to the platform Facebook? It will not load, and I'm wondering if it's my computer, a glitch, or a glitch on purpose, as it's religious content.)
Thank you for letting the video go on and on. The longer I listened t-he more calmer I got My favorite song was Down by the River. It almost felt like we were in an African American Church which is on my bucket list. I noticed there were many conductors. I love to watch the conductors. Other than the Mormon Tabernacle Choirs, I don't think I have seen a Methodist choir quite that large. So easy to feel His presence. :)
Founded 😮! 🙏🏼🫶
where two or more methodists are gathered, there will be an offering
💕💕
❤️
Is the soprano near the end the one that sang in your last vlog?What a voice
She is!
Thank-you.
Scott,when you say unincorporated,do you mean no local authority involvment?
Love it Scott.
Love it Scott.
