Fred & Betty Dr. Frederick K.C. Price was born January 3, 1932, in Santa Monica, California. Dr. Price received an honorary diploma from the Rhema Bible Training Center in 1976 and an honorary Doctorate of Divinity Degree from Oral Roberts University in 1982. Dr. Price met the former Betty Ruth Scott while attending Dorsey High School. They were married in March 1953 and have four children. The marriage of Fred and Betty Price has spanned 47 years. The fact that all but one of those years was spent in the ministry is a story within itself. Dr. Price was not a religious man. He was not reared in the church. In fact, his parents were Jehovah’s Witnesses who discontinued practicing their faith when he was very young. On the other hand, Betty was a devout Baptist, whose only desire was to please God. In order, to win her hand and impress her family, Dr. Price became a regular churchgoer during their courtship. Once they were married, however, he spent Sundays at the baseball diamond. Betty, as she puts it, “knew better” and remained steadfast in her faith, attending church every Sunday. Within months after they married, a group of Los Angeles area churches sponsored a week of old-fashioned tent revivals. Dr. Price became jealous when he noticed that Betty went to each service. To find out why she went, he decided to go. At that service, he was born-again. They joined a local Baptist congregation where he received the “call” to minister, “I heard an audible voice saying, ‘You are going to preach my Gospel.’ It was like a bomb going off. I believe it was the voice of Jesus Christ, but at that time, I did not know what it was.” During the next 17 years, Dr. Price became increasingly dissatisfied with his progress, both personally as a Christian and in learning about the things of God in general. This led to his pastoring in four denominations. He was an assistant pastor in the Baptist church from 1955 to 1957, then pastored an AME (African Methodist Episcopal) church in Val Verde, CA from 1957 to 1959. He went from there to the Presbyterian Church, then to the Christian and Missionary Alliance in 1965. During these years, Dr. Price searched the Scriptures for the answer. In his earnest desire to be all that God’s Word said he discovered that the power of the Holy Spirit was missing in his life. In his book, “The Holy Spirit -- The Missing Ingredient,” Dr. Price writes of this time, “Every time I read the words of Jesus in John 14:12, ‘...the works that I do will he do also; and greater works than these will he do, because I go to My Father,’ it left me longing to experience these works. I was not witnessing these ‘greater works’ in my own ministry, nor in the ministry of others that I knew, with two exceptions -- Kathryn Kuhlman and Oral Roberts.” To add to his mounting frustration, in 1962, Dr. Price’s eight-year-old son, Frederick III, was struck and killed by a car coming home from school. This was the most disastrous of many crises in the Price family. In her book, “Standing By God’s Man,” Dr.Betty Price remembers, “Fred and I tried to console each other as best we could, and leaned a lot on one another during this time of hurt. My husband particularly found it hard to get over this tragedy, but he knew -- and continued to say -- that it was not God Who had taken our son from us. Looking back now, we can see how the devil was trying to destroy us as a family.” While Dr. Price was pastoring for the Christian and Missionary Alliance (CMA), he read Kathryn Kuhlman’s book, “God Can Do It Again.” “It stirred my soul,” he says. “This was the missing dimension -- the demonstration of the power of the Spirit of God,” or what the Bible terms “the gifts of the Spirit.” On February 28, 1970, he received the gift of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of “speaking with other tongues”. That is the event that Dr. Price considers the jumping-off point in his ministry. He was also influenced by books and tapes by Rev. Kenneth E. Hagin. Dr. Price adds, “It was during this time that Betty and I began to take the first steps to walk by faith, which has brought us to where we are today.” In 1973 Dr. Price and 300 parishioners moved from West Washington (CMA) Church to establish Crenshaw Christian Center (CCC) in Inglewood, CA. In 1984 CCC outgrew its Inglewood facility and purchased the former Pepperdine University L.A. campus. Now the home of the Faith Dome, with over 10,000 seats, it is one of the largest church sanctuaries in America. Current church membership totals over 22,000. People all over the world know of Dr. Price through the “Ever Increasing Faith” TV, radio and tape ministry. The program reaches more than 15 million households each week and airs in 15 of the 20 largest markets throughout the United States, according to Nielson ratings. Dr. Price is the author of some 50 books on faith, healing, prosperity, and the Holy Spirit. “How Faith Works” is a classic book on the operation of faith and its life-changing principles. He has sold over 2.1 million books since 1976. Close Window
