In 1975, Pastor Bernard attended a Nicky Cruz meeting. It was that night he gained a better understanding of who Jesus really was and started on his journey as a Christian. A few years later, he left his ten year banking career to follow the call of God on his life to full time ministry. He became the founding pastor of the Christian Cultural Center (CCC) which began as a small parish in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, New York in 1978. With his wife Karen at his side, the church began with a small membership and reached out to its local community. Over the years, the church has gone through many stages of growth and development. Today CCC sits on an 11.5 acre campus with a registered membership of over 37,000 members.
