Ventnor Community Church held a barbeque fundraiser on Aug. 14, 2022 to fund repairs to the 100-year-old church.

VENTNOR – Family and friends spent a delightfully cool summer day enjoying delicious barbecue and comradery, all while supporting a great cause at the Ventnor Community Church 100th anniversary barbeque on Aug. 14.

Donations were raised to fund repairs to the historic church that was severely damaged during Hurricane Sandy in 2012. The church was not eligible for Sandy relief funds. The church has been making some repairs over the past 10 years, but much more still needs to be done. In addition to the repairs, the entire church needs to become ADA compliant.

As a nonprofit organization, The Ventnor Community Church relies on donations to further its long-standing mission of community leadership as well as to provide spiritual guidance in Christian worship within its historic walls.

The church aims to raise $50,000 for repairs to the building. Donations may be made to repair this historic community institution at its GoFundMe page: www.gofundme.com.

Founded on Nov. 22, 1922, Ventnor Community Church is nondenominational. Its long-standing mission is to provide community leadership and spiritual guidance in Christian worship, and is also affiliated with Waters Edge of South Jersey, led by Pastor Dean Bult, which serves as ‘The Church for the Unchurched.”

Waters Edge’s mission is to lead people, who wish to practice spiritually but do not fully identify with the Christian faith, into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. The church also hosts Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.
