From Further Out
From a practical viewpoint, turn-by-turn directions become prohibitively difficult for us to provided to those arriving from greater distances. However, we can offer a few suggestions.
From the Trenton and Mount Holly Areas
Take U.S. Highway 206 southbound until it ends. This will put you at the intersection with U.S. Highway 30 in Hammonton. Follow the local directions from Hammonton above.
From the Newark and Toms River Areas
Take the Garden State Parkway southbound. Exit onto the Atlantic City Expressway westbound at Exit 38A (Camden/Philadelphia Exit). Proceed as described from Atlantic City below.
From Atlantic City (via the Expressway)
Take the Atlantic City Expressway westbound. Get off at Exit 12 (Mays Landing Exit; U.S. Highway 40). After the toll booth, stay to the left. Turn left at the first traffic signal and immediately get into the right lane so you can turn right in a few hundred feet at the next traffic signal. After turning, stay in the right lane. Immediately after passing through the next traffic signal, take the jug handle to the right to take U.S. Highway 40 westbound. Follow the local directions from the Hamilton Mall above.

From the Wilmington, Delaware Area
Traveling to us from this area you have the choice of two routes. Although their two distances vary greatly, the time it takes is similar due to road and traffic differences.
One: Follow Interstate 95 northbound
to Philadelphia. Cross the Walt Whitman
Bridge into New Jersey, and continue by
following the directions from Philadelphia
below.
Although this is the longer route
in terms of distance, time-wise it is
similar to the alternative below.
It is also generally easier to follow for those
who may be unfamiliar with the area.
--OR--
Two: Follow U.S. Highway 40 eastbound until reaching Mays Landing. Turn left at the traffic signal at the center of town (Main Street). Our church is one-half block down on the right. This is a shorter route and more scenic. It is also slower-going due to its rural nature, and has a greater number of turns as Highway 40 travels through the center of many towns along the way.
From the Philadelphia Area
Cross over the Delaware River into New Jersey and find your way onto the Atlantic City Expressway eastbound. Get off the Expressway at Exit 17 (Egg Harbor / Mays Landing Exit; U.S. Highway 50). Turn right (toward Mays Landing) as you exit the off-ramp. This puts you on State Highway 50 southbound. Proceed 4.6 miles to the intersection with Main Street (U.S. Highway 40). Turn right onto Main Street. Our church is one-half block down on the right.
