The Boardwalk Chapel has left a lasting impact on many lives. Many different kinds of people have had their lives touched by the ministry here. Maybe it was a brief moment on the boardwalk, a tract rejected in a split-second decision. Maybe it was a minute spared to read the verse written on the front …
The Boardwalk Chapel is a wonderful opportunity for college students on summer break! Every year some of our staffers come from college to the Chapel and join our family for the summer. Curious if you should pursue this opportunity? First of all, pray. It’s an investment—an investment of your time and resources. Everyone’s situation is …
Evangelizing isn’t always comfortable, especially when it’s new. That’s why it’s a blessing to come to the Chapel and gain personal experience articulating your faith. “When you voice things yourself and you say things out loud, that’s first of all how you learn,” said Addam, who came to the Chapel for the second time this …

To walk on the boardwalk to see the depravity of man not just on display, but flaunted. Sandwiched between yet another pizza place and yet another crude T-Shirt shop sits the …
