History
The Korean Central Presbyterian Church was founded on November 4, 1973, by Rev. Myung Ho Yoon with 20 Korean-American families. The first service was in his residence at 313 Park Street, N.E. Vienna, Virginia. 

Rev. Won Sang Lee became the succeeding senior pastor in 1977 and served for the next 26 years. During this time, the congregation grew to over 3,700 members by 2003.

The English-speaking congregation (KCPC English Ministry) began in the early 1990s to minister to the American-born or raised members of the church.

To accommodate the growing size of the congregation  KCPC relocated from the previous 12-acre Vienna campus to a new 80-acre campus at Centreville on July 11, 2010. 

Rev. Danny C. Ro became the third senior pastor of KCPC in October, 2003. Rev. Ro Ro resigned on July 1, 2012 and became the senior pastor of Sarang Community Church of Southern California. 

Rev. Eung-yul David Ryoo was installed in 2013 as the church's fourth pastor. 

The congregation, having joined the Korean Capital Presbytery, changed its name to Christ Central Presbyterian Church. In recognition of CCPC's particularization as an organized church, KCPC launched a 10 a.m. worship service for its English-speaking congregation (KCPC EC) in 2019. An English Congregation Support Committee (ECSC) was launched in 2020 to systematically pursue KCPC's vision of unity and diversity between the English and Korean speaking congregants under a "one church" model. 

On January 10, 2021, KCPC launched its KCPC-DC Campus in Arlington, Virginia.

Ministries
