Contact: Rob Taylor, 732-588-0861

OLD BRIDGE, N.J., May 24, 2016 /Christian Newswire/ -- Evangelist, teacher, author, and radio host Greg Laurie returns to NJ for Bridgefest 2016 on June 24-25th in Ocean Grove, NJ.

Greg Laurie, pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship, CA and author of over 70 books, has hosted Harvest Crusades, large-scale, Billy Graham-style outreaches that have drawn millions in attendance.

"For a few years of my childhood I lived in Summit, NJ and that's one of the reasons I am looking forward to coming back again for Bridgefest on June 24-25," explains Laurie. "Those who join us are going to hear incredible music by outstanding artists, and I will present a straightforward message on how to come into a relationship with Jesus Christ."

On Friday night, June 24th at 7:00pm in the Great Auditorium in Ocean Grove, Laurie will be joined by two award-winning musical artists, Citizens and Saints and Phil Wickham, whose "This is Amazing Grace" was named Song of the Year at the 2015 BMI Christian Music Awards.

Bridgefest, the annual outreach event of The Bridge Christian Radio Network, consistently draws between 5,000-10,000 to Ocean Grove, NJ each summer. "The Bridge is the missing link between talk radio and Christian music," said Lloyd Pulley, senior pastor of Calvary Chapel Old Bridge and co-founder of The Bridge. "Great teachers, musicians, listeners all come together at Bridgefest, and what could be better than Greg Laurie joining us this year, with a simple yet powerful presentation of the truth?!"

Friday's events include teaching throughout the day, a youth rally, and the evening concert featuring Citizens and Saints, Phil Wickham, and Greg Laurie. Bridgefest continues on Saturday June 25th on the beach in Ocean Grove, with activities for all, including a surf clinic, soccer camp, face painting, volleyball, and a beach baptism.

"Everyday we hear how The Bridge is changing the lives of people," says Rob Taylor, General Manager of The Bridge. "And now we get to meet those same people face-to-face, in a historic day for the station, for Ocean Grove, and for each of us."
