Asbury Grove Welcome to Asbury Grove - celebrating 167 years of Camp Meeting! Located in S. Hamilton, Massachusetts

Since 1859, Asbury Grove has been a vibrant community where people of all ages come together to encounter God, grow in faith, and enjoy life in a welcoming, Christ-centered environment.

Nes

tled in Hamilton, MA, Asbury Grove blends rich history with lively community activities. Strolling through our seasonal section (open mid-April to October) feels like stepping back in time, with over 80 historic cottages featuring wraparound porches, gingerbread trim, and the charm of a 19th-century camp meeting village. What We Offer:

Faith & Worship: Camp Meeting Week, vespers services, midweek gatherings, Bible studies, Ladies’ Aid, men’s classes, and youth programs. Events & Rentals: Whether you’re planning a church retreat, family reunion, wedding, or celebration, Asbury Grove offers unique facilities to make your event unforgettable. Community Fun: Summer at the Grove is filled with foot races, game nights, cookouts, ice cream socials, movie nights, and our beloved July 4th parade and picnic. Recreation & Outdoors: From our Olympic-sized pool to foot races, outdoor spaces, and recreational activities, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. For over 160 years, Asbury Grove has stood as a place where God’s love is shared, stories are made, and community thrives. Come visit, take a walk through history, and see what makes the Grove so special!

Friends of Asbury Grove, especially those who love live music in the Tabernacle, you are warmly invited to a special evening of music, faith, fellowship, and dessert just down the road in Gloucester.

West Gloucester Trinitarian Congregational Church invites you to a concert with Bobby Jo Valentine on Saturday, June 6, 2026 at 5:00 PM.

Bobby Jo Valentine offers heart-opening, award-winning folk/pop music filled with thoughtful lyrics, spiritual depth, humor, compassion, and hope. His songs speak to love, belonging, courage, faith, and the gentle everyday awakenings of an openhearted life. He has shared his music with theaters, house concerts, festivals, and faith communities across the country, including the Wild Goose Festival and the United Church of Christ General Synod.

Katherine DeSilva, an Asbury Grove summer resident, is glad to help extend this invitation to the Grove community. If you enjoy meaningful live music, faithful storytelling, and evenings that leave your spirit a little lighter, this would be a beautiful gathering to attend.

A Strawberry Shortcake Social will follow the concert.

There’s something special about seeing the Grove come back to life cottage by cottage, family by family, and through reuniting once again with our year-round friends and neighbors. ☀️🏡
