Christian Cultural Center began as a small parish in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, New York, in 1978. The church’s senior pastor and founder, the Rev. A. R. Bernard, left a 10-year banking career to follow the call of God on his life to full-time ministry. With his wife Karen Bernard at his side, the church began with a small membership, spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ and reaching out to its local community in the East New York area of Brooklyn.
