Price founded the Crenshaw Christian Center in 1973 and grew it into one of the first Black megachurches in America with over 28,000 members and an estimated 15 million households watching various services on television.
His outreach extended to numerous pastors across the country including Apostle I.V. Hilliard of New Light Christian Center Church in Houston.
Although he was deemed controversial over his teachings regarding the LGBTQ community and Islam, Price helped establish a blueprint which other pastors, particularly Black preachers would follow. he and his family founded the Federick K.C. Price III Christian School in 1986 and recently, Price’s church was converted into a coronavirus testing facility and is now a vaccination site.
He’s survived by his wife Bety, four children, 10 grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren.
