The Head of the River Church was built in 1792, and is the oldest standing church in Atlantic County. This historic church is only opened occasionally now for events such as baptisms, weddings and funerals. It holds regular services twice a year - on the second Sunday in October to commemorate the church's anniversary, and on the first Sunday of December for Christmas service.   [1]
