FREDRICK K. C. PRICE, CRENSHAW CHRISTIAN CENTER FOUNDER, DIES AT 89
Frederick K.C. Price, one of Los Angeles’ most prominent religious leaders and founder of the Crenshaw Christian Center, has died from COVID-19 at the age of 89.
Apostle Price, who led services in the Landmark Faith Dome for many years, died Friday evening, according to a statement issued by EIF Ministries.
Price founded the Crenshaw Christian Center in 1973 and built it into one of America’s first Black megachurches, with 28,000 members and an estimated 15 million households watching televised church services every week.
He was at times controversial – criticized for his teachings about the LGBTQ community and Islam.
The Price family founded the Frederick K. C. Price III Christian School in 1986, located on the sprawling campus of the Crenshaw Christian Center. The Crenshaw Christian Center served as a coronavirus testing facility and is now a vaccination site.
May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace, God’s General.
