The choir started 40 years ago with just nine members of a struggling nondenominational church housed in a rundown building on Atlantic Avenue near where the Barclays Center now sits. Today, according to its Brooklyn-bred pastor, Jim Cymbala, 69, the choir is almost 300 strong and sings at services each Sunday in the 4,000-seat former Loew’s Metropolitan theater in Downtown Brooklyn. On an average Sunday, he said, 10,000 worshipers can pass through the doors for the three services.
