Mr. Bream served the Lord in many roles through the years. He was president of Cincinnati Bible College and Seminary (now called Cincinnati Christian University) from 1970 to 1986, and was chancellor an additional 3 years. He had served as trustee with the CRA since 1951, while also serving 10 years as CRA director and editor of The Restoration Herald, and 7 years as the CRA’s general evangelist.

He had ministries with Chatham Christian Church, Augusta, Ky.; Kentontown Christian Church, Mount Olivet, Ky.; Montgomery Road Church of Christ, Cincinnati; and Forest Dale Church of Christ (twice) in Cincinnati. He also established or helped establish several churches. Since 2003, Mr. Bream had been serving as teaching minister with Bright (Ind.) Christian Church. Mr. Bream was baptized into Christ December 15, 1933, and ordained May 1944, the year he was awarded his BA in ministry at Cincinnati. He died just weeks after the passing of his wife, Mary Ann, on Oct. 16. The couple were married 69 years and had four children, the late Deborah Fenner, Christine Lambert, Harvey III, and Scott; six grandchildren; and five great-grandchildren.”
