Iconic comedian Jeff Allen will be the headliner at Atlantic Christian School’s Legacy Gala on Friday, May 12 at the Ocean City Tabernacle in Ocean City, NJ. The benefit event is open to the public and will raise funds to support Atlantic Christian’s financial aid program.

Allen has entertained audiences around the world and has appeared on America’s Got Talent, Comedy Central, Pureflix, Dry Bar Comedy, Apostles of Comedy, in films like “Thou Shalt Not Laugh,” and more.

It’s sure to be an enjoyable evening for the whole family.”

Oblen said the proceeds from the fundraiser will benefit the school’s Tuition Assistance Grant Fund, which since 2017 has been providing tuition discounts to hundreds of qualified families in need to give them access to a Christian education for their children.

Join Us for May 1 Legacy Gala — An Evening with Christian Recording Artist Mandisa

GRAMMY® winner, American Idol Season 5 finalist, and Christian recording artist Mandisa will sing and share words of encouragement and truth for people facing life’s challenges as the featured keynote speaker at the ACS Legacy Gala 2020 on Friday, May 1 at the Ocean City Tabernacle. General ticket sales will begin on Monday, March 2. Sponsorship information will be available soon. Please mark your calendar to attend this special evening to benefit Atlantic Christian School and invite your family and friends to join you as well.

With more than 1 million records sold, Mandisa released her first album, “True Beauty,” in July 2007. After spending several years struggling with depression, Mandisa returned to writing and recording such potent songs as “Prove Me Wrong,” “I’m Still Here (The Best is Yet to Come),” and Unfinished.” Her fifth album, “Out of the Dark,” was released in May 2017 and was No. 1 on Billboard’s Christian and Gospel Chart and Top 20 on the Billboard Album’s Chart.

As Mandisa started working on the “Out of the Dark” album, she said God started lifting her out of the pit of depression. “My hope is that people will be on this journey with me,” Mandisa said. “When I began, I was in a really dark place, but where I am today is so much better and so much lighter. He pulled me out of the dark! I’m hoping that the same way that God is restoring me, that He will restore those who listen to it (the album).”

In the fall of 2019, Mandisa headlined the “Girls Night Live Tour” with guests Blanca and Riley Clemmons. She also co-hosted the K-LOVE Fan Awards with Matthew West in June 2019.
