                        Wednesday, March 3, 2021

  Ms. WATERS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Apostle 
Frederick K.C. Price of Los Angeles, California, who died on February 
12, 2021 at the age of 89.
  Apostle Frederick K.C. Price is the founder of Crenshaw Christian 
Center (CCC) in Los Angeles, California. He began CCC in 1973 and 
shepherded it into a ministry of world renown, with services held in 
the 10,000-seat FaithDome.
  In 1978, Apostle Price received instruction from God to begin a 
television broadcast and, as a result, Ever Increasing Faith Ministries 
(EIFM) began broadcasting in five major television markets. Thus, the 
television broadcast soon after became global.
  EIFM can be viewed on many television stations in all 50 states and 
in many foreign countries. Apostle Price is also heard on numerous 
radio programs and 19 Internet broadcast stations. Additionally, he can 
be seen on most social media platforms, including Facebook, Twitter, 
Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest, and others. In 1990, Apostle Price 
founded the Fellowship of Inner-City Word of Faith Ministries (FICWFM), 
which later became the Fellowship of International Christian Word of 
Faith Ministries before disbanding in 2017. And in 2001, he established 
an East Coast church, Crenshaw Christian Center East.
  A visionary and prolific author, Apostle Price is the author of some 
50 books on faith, healing, prosperity, and the Holy Spirit. How Faith 
Works is a classic on the operation of faith and its life-changing 
principles.
  Although he had already operated in the fivefold ministry gift of 
apostle, in 2008 Apostle Price was publicly affirmed as an apostle of 
faith. Under the mantle of the teaching gift, Apostle Price established 
several schools for ministry and formal education at CCC. Among them 
are Frederick K.C. Price Ill Christian Schools (preschool to 12th 
grade); the Ministry Training Institute in 1985; a CCC Correspondence 
School; the Frederick K.C. Price School of the Bible; and in 2008, the 
Apostle Price Ministry Training Center. Over the years, Apostle Price 
has received many prestigious awards, most notably the Horatio Alger 
Award and the Kelly Miller Smith Interfaith Award.
  A year after his affirmation and after more than 35 years of service, 
Apostle Price stepped aside as pastor to formally install his son, 
Frederick K. Price Jr., as his successor. For years he served as the 
presiding prelate of both CCC West and CCC East and as the chairman of 
CCC's board of directors.
  A devout husband and proud father, Apostle Price is survived by his 
wife of 67 years, Dr. Betty Price, four children, ten grandchildren, 
and four great-grandchildren.
  I am proud to call myself a friend of the Price family, and I extend 
my deepest condolences to them and to the countless lives touched by 
the life and work of Apostle Frederick K.C. Price.
