Join us for the first event in our new multi-part series highlighting the history of local houses of worship. Moderated by local historian Dave Murphy, this evening will feature speakers from Life Mission Fellowship, Victory Bible Church, Hammonton Presbyterian Church, and Hammonton Methodist Church.

Together, we’ll explore the stories of how these faith communities were founded, how they’ve grown, and the important role they continue to play in our town’s cultural and spiritual life. Future events will spotlight even more of the town’s faith communities and ensure all are represented. It’s an opportunity to celebrate the shared history, diversity, and enduring contributions of these institutions to Hammonton’s identity.

This will be a night of meaningful stories and rich history—don’t miss it!
