Thousands of people have flocked to the Jersey Shore each summer for nearly two decades to attend the annual Bridgefest celebration.
Since its inception in 2005, Bridgefest founder and Calvary Chapel Old Bridge senior pastor, Lloyd Pulley prayed for and envisioned a gathering of people to come together on the Jersey Shore. "About 20 years ago we felt a gathering of all the listeners to a two-day festival with food and music and teaching would unify like-minded people who see the powerful and personal and relevant impact of the Bible," Pulley told Fox News.
Pastor Lloyd Pulley, along with his wife and children, took a leap of faith in obedience to God and moved from California to New Jersey to establish Calvary Chapel Old Bridge in 1984. The church is affiliated with Pastor Chuck Smith's Calvary Chapel church movement that sparked one of the greatest spiritual awakenings in American history in Southern California during the 1960s and 1970s. The hit movie""Newsboys" perform at the Friday night concert during Bridgefest 2017.
Bridgefest draws families, pastors and churches from all over the tri-state area and across the country to hear the Gospel of Jesus. Over the course of the festival, Bridgefest-goers experience Bible teachings, boardwalk games, food trucks, kids activities, a Friday night concert, and much more.
