This landmark Main Street church was founded in 1873, and claims an interesting history: Its namesake pastor, the Rev. Ormond W. Wright, founded a church in Dodge City. Legend has it, Wyatt Earp himself was a deacon. The building where the Presbyterian church is housed was a concert hall before it became a place of worship, and the active congregation works to keep its musical history alive with an accomplished choir and many live performances. Visit the Wright website for a full calender of services and events.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is located on Mary Bell Road off of Route 9 in Barnegat. This church is a Mormon church and has been serving the community for years. Call the church directly for a schedule of services.
Barnegat's Quaker congregation gathers weekly in this charming historic building on a peaceful plot on East Bay Avenue. The meeting house, built in 1767, was the first place of worship built in town and the third in the county. A cemetery with graves dating to the late 1700s lies adjacent to the church. Meetings take place at 10am every Sunday.
