Camp FAC

What Camp FAC does

Fellowship Alliance Chapel (operating under the DBA "FAC," with its Camp Fellowship program sometimes referenced as "Camp FAC") is a nonprofit Christian church founded in 1980 by Pastor Marty Berglund and his wife Laurie in Shamong, New Jersey, after relocating from Dallas Theological Seminary. The church is affiliated with the Christian and Missionary Alliance (CMA) denomination and is headquartered at 199 Church Road, Medford, NJ, with a second facility at 498 Kettle Run Rd, Marlton, NJ, used for the summer Camp Fellowship program. It is currently led by a volunteer Elder Board (including Vice Chairman Dave Gutekunst, Treasurer Bob Burch, and Secretary Andy Hall), with Rev. Marty Berglund, Rev. Erik Jarvis, and Rev. Glenn Kantner fulfilling interim preaching duties during an active Senior Pastor search. The organization employs approximately 26 full-time and part-time staff across ministry, operations, worship, finance, and facilities functions.

FAC operates a portfolio of ministry "products" rather than discrete commercial goods: weekly Sunday worship services at 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM (with ASL interpretation and livestream), a full children's and youth pipeline (Fellowship Littles for birth-Pre-K, Fellowship Kids K-4th, Fellowship Students 5th-12th), care and support groups (grief, addiction recovery, mental health, special needs), weddings and funerals, and a six-week Camp Fellowship summer day camp at $300/week/camper. Underlying technology is standard church-SaaS: Church Center for registration and member management, Ultracamp for camp enrollment, Pushpay for digital giving, Mailchimp for newsletters, and YouTube for sermon archives. FAC's technology stack is integration-oriented rather than proprietary, with no internal platform development.

Revenue mechanics are mixed and nonprofit-structured. The primary revenue stream is voluntary tithes and offerings from congregation members via Pushpay (Apple Pay, bank, credit card), supplemented by one-time and recurring non-cash gifts (stocks, bonds, planned giving). Camp Fellowship generates transactional fees ($300/week base, $60/week bus, $100/week aftercare). The ENGAGE campaign, launched with a $2 million anonymous matching gift, targets $4 million in debt reduction with approximately $1.9 million in congregational pledges already committed; $1.2 million has been retired as of April 2026, freeing over $50,000 per month for ministry use. A loan refinancing through Orchard Alliance reduced monthly payments by more than 20%. Customer segments span local congregants, camp families, mission donors, child-sponsorship supporters ($47/month for The Fold Children's Home in South Africa), and short-term mission trip participants (~$1,250 plus airfare). The organization also operates as the "sending church" for Christ the King Fellowship (Camden County, NJ) and supports international mission partnerships in South Africa, Ukraine, the Middle East, and Mexico.

Scale indicators9 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Transformation Church: A large multi-site evangelical church known for digital-first outreach, contemporary worship, and global missions partnerships. Comparable in offering profile (worship services, children's programming, online giving, missions) but at significantly larger scale.
• North Point Ministries: Network of evangelical churches founded by Andy Stanley with comparable programming in adult small groups, children, students, and missions. Comparable structure as a 'church of churches' model and relevant peer for understanding multi-site replication strategy.
• Flatirons Church: Colorado-based multi-site evangelical church with comparable programming breadth (children's, students, missions, online campus) and a similar emphasis on sending-church and global partnerships. Operates at meaningfully larger scale but with comparable ministry architecture.
• The Christian and Missionary Alliance (C&MA): The parent denomination of which FAC is a member church. Provides theological framework, ordination pipelines, and ecclesiastical oversight — comparable as the governing body that shapes FAC's operating model and church-plant strategy.

Regional players

• Liquid Church: Multi-site New Jersey evangelical church with comparable scale, modern digital streaming, family/youth programming, and an emphasis on missional outreach. Operates across similar NJ geography and competes for the same donor and volunteer pool.
• Cherry Hill Community Church: A non-denominational evangelical church based in nearby Cherry Hill, NJ, with comparable Sunday service programming, children's/youth ministries, and a South Jersey catchment area. Direct geographic competitor for congregants in the Medford/Marlton region.

Others

• Trinity Preparatory School: A K-12 classical Christian school physically located on FAC's Medford campus. Not a direct competitor but a strategic on-campus partner that shares the congregation's family demographic and reinforces FAC's family/youth programming ecosystem.

Direct peers

• Woodlands Church: A mid-sized evangelical church operating a well-known summer day-camp program (Kids Camp) with similar recreation-based programming combining sports, crafts, and faith formation. Closest functional peer to Camp Fellowship's day-camp model.
• Christ Community Church: Mid-sized evangelical church in the Kansas City area with active global missions program and community outreach comparable to FAC's structure. Similar scale and ministry mix (children, students, care groups, missions trips) make it a direct operational peer.
• The Church of the Apostles: A church-planting network with a global missions focus, denominational accountability structure, and a sending-church model. Directly comparable to FAC's church-planting posture via Christ the King Fellowship.
