Located in Cherry Hill, NJ, Accelerate Church is uniquely

an area we like to call Accelerate City. The Lord blessed us with a
leased facility just minutes from major highways and centers of
commerce, making our location easily accessible by many. We saw
330 people attend our first service on September 1, 2021, 542 attend
our first Easter, and in 2023 we are prepped to grow again!
Over the past 18 months, 56 people have made a decision for
Jesus and on Baptism Sunday saw 31 people go public with their faith!
Since our Launch over 75 people have taken their next step by joining
the Dream Team. Accelerate’s vibrant kids ministry is committed to
empowering the next generation and has flourished, averaging over
50 children weekly.
We are guided by scripture and our four core values dictating our
budget, speech, decisions, and actions. Just like Paul asked the church
to pray that the “word of the Lord would speed ahead” in 2nd
Thessalonians 3:1, we want to see the gospel of Jesus run in Camden
City, Camden County, and Accelerate City so that people meet God at
a rapid pace!
