We are a Handicap Accessible Church!

Check Our Pictures Below of Our Journey From Palm Sunday Through the Easter Season!

By the power of the Holy Spirit we have been gathered as a diverse community which is muti-ethnic, multi-racial and multicultural which celebrates God's unconditonal love and amazing grace in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We are a Reconciling in Christ Congregation and strongly support ministry to families with differently abled children. Please take some time to read our mission statement and view our year in pictures, and see how our partnership in mission with the wider church is making a difference in the city of Camden and beyond. Please take the time to meet our Deacon Board and Guidance Team by clicking on the links on the left hand side of the page. Through our Peace Center we provide many social and support services to our community and many of our partners assist us with these efforts. We have a new schedule for services in our Peace Center. Please worship with us on Sundays at 11:00 AM or Wednesday at 7:00 PM. We welcome all!

Children's Message Good Shepherd Sunday

On Easter Sunday we had 52 children in Church and here Devington Watkis is doing the Children's message.

The Sheep are escaping from the sheep pen but when the shepherd called them: they knew his voice and followed him! We follow Jesus!

Thank You Spirit of Hope

We thank almighty God and the people of Spirit of Hope, Mt Ephraim for providing to us upon the sad occassion of their closing new paraments for our altar and banners as well as a communion set. On our wall we hung a banner which says Spirit of Hope and remember that a soaring dove was their symbol as per George Gillen. We pray that God will open his Fatherly heart to each disciple from Spirit of Hope and give them "pure, unutterable love" with a renewed sense of hope for mission and direction in this time of sorrow.
