Christian Cultural Center - Brooklyn Campus

"What a blessing it was to be able to attend CCC on August 11th. Coming in from Toronto Canada we were immediately greeted with friendly and warm faces. Our bags were secured and we were shown to our seats. To top it off it was Dr. A.R Bernard’s birthday what a beautiful experience that we will never forget. Thank you CCC for making us so welcome. We will visit again god willing."

"Tried to set up pre-marital counseling. I've email the church, received no response. My GF's  crazy experience is below: "My boyfriend and I have been attending CCC for about 5 yrs now and while the teaching by Dr. A.R. Bernard is absolutely amazing, we unfortunately may have to cut our losses. I reached out via email in 2020 to inquire about pre-marital counseling and received an email back from someone by the name of Alma Ricketts that the person needed to speak with me first. I provided my number, however I never received a call or an email back. Fast forward to 2024, we figured we'd give CCC another shot as we love the church and still had been attending. This time, on Monday, July 15th (approx 3:15pm) I called the church directly to get more information on the pre-marital counseling as it is not readily available on the website. The woman who answered was nice, and stated I could find the info on the website. Being that I already checked, I asked her to guide me through it while I had her on the phone. The instructions provided led me to a link that asked me to sign in, so it was not readily available. She then asked my name and searched their system to see if I had an account, which came up as my boyfriend and I paid tithes regularly. I was advised that my subscription wasn't activated and that she would need to resubscribe me as an alternative way to get the information. I told her I did not want to subscribe to emails and only wanted information on the pre-marital counseling. She began to tell me about the specifics of the course, however I wanted to see it in writing. I was confused as to why the information was not readily accessible on the website and why I have to be subscribed to emails, just to learn more about the course. She then reactivated my subscription which sent me an email to reset my password. After doing so, logging into my account and following the same instructions, the link and page to the information said the form expired. I was told that the Summer course had just passed, which is understandable but it still did not explain why no information was available. The woman then tried to access the information on her own account and received the same error. Ultimately, she had to search through previously sent emails on the pre-marital course and forward it to me. She also informed me that we must be official members of the church as a prerequisite to take the pre-marital course and when I asked when the next one was, she told me she didn't have a date and that I could call back to check or subscribe to their emails. Meaning if it didn't align before the dates of the marital course we may be stuck waiting another year before the next one. After reviewing the forwarded email, the other prerequisite to the pre-marital course is purchasing the pastor's book, which would be at a discounted rate. Why not just include the book in the price of the course or allow it to be rented out for people who are already paying for the course? Not to mention, the tithes we've paid all these yrs didn't benefit us when it came to this. Neither one of us had to be members in order for them to recieve tithes from us for over half a decade. Yet soon as we tried to access a beneficial resource we have to be members. This was all way too much of a hassle and a futile attempt at increasing book sales. While we would have loved to get our pre-marital counseling here, it will be easier for us to just get it elsewhere (and pay tithes elsewhere). We'll just catch their Sunday services for free online in the future." My Update (the BF): August 2024 they've finally sent out a random email blast to everyone that showed when all the courses are available (links provided) and once again was a hassle. Required way too much info just to get to the first page (of 5). Then when you get through it's a constant "page expired" page that you can't get passed. After reading a rundown they state that if they don't book enough couples they'll just cancel the class. After all the waiting you have to do just to get in. Ridiculous!"

"This church is a "teaching" church. Pastor Bernard and Pastor Jamal are an awesome team. I absolutely love it. I gave been coming for about 27 years and it's only gotten better."

"Giving my life to the lord ..there is no feeling like it. I just wanted to hug everyone. So much love filled me. Baptism in my chair, but I'll be back. I heard the prayers over me. I will make it."

"I have been here for two different occasions one when my son was graduating from FDNY Paramedics and now for his Fire Fighter graduation and both time have been awesome."
