Barrington Gospel Hall in Camden Co., New Jersey is an open brethren assembly that was founded in 1912, primarily by Gustav Adolph Eisele (b. 1879 Philadelphia, PA - d. 1967 Camden, NJ) who was employed as a toolmaker of gas mantels. Thru 1922, the assembly was known as the New Barrington Gospel Hall.

In 1926, a USCoRB census was taken indicated that there were 31 in fellowship (13 men, 18 women) including 3 S.S. teachers, presiding over 20 children (for a total of 51). The Hall was valued at $2,500, and privately owned (with $490 in annual expenses), and $400 (over $7,000 in 2023) was additionally spent towards the Lord's work that year.
