Wife

In March 1953, Frederick K. C. Price married Dr. Betty Ruth Scott Price.

She was 19 at the time they got married.

They met after she finished high school.

She was born on February 9, 1934, in Gloster, Mississippi. In 1952, Dr. Betty Ruth Scott Price graduated from Dorsey High School.

In 1990, to help inner-city ministries overcome the challenges they encounter, the couple launched the Fellowship of Inner-City Word of Faith Ministries.

She received the honor of “Woman of the Year” from the LA County Commission for Women in the Second District. She said:

”It’s not about what we can get for ourselves, though they accuse Dr. Price of that, but they are so wrong—and they’re sure going to have to pay, but it’s just the idea of helping people.”

Dr. Betty Ruth Scott Price is the author of 6 books:

  • A Warning to Ministers, Their Wives, and Mistresses;
  • Wisdom From Above (Volumes 1 and 2); 
  • Lifestyles of the Rich & Faithful; 
  • Through the Fire & Through the Water; 
  • Standing by God’s Man.

Dr. Price and his wife travel extensively all over the world, ministering the uncompromising Word of God. During an interview, he declared:

“When we first started pasturing, we weren’t spirit filled and we didn’t understand the principles of faith, but ever since 1970 we’ve been walking in victory and it’s just gone up, up, up and is very exciting.”

Dr. Betty Ruth Scott Price established the Women’s Fellowship, which has served as a prototype for numerous women’s fellowships throughout the United States.

In June 2017, Pastor Fred Price Jr. announced that he would be stepping down from ministry due to “serious personal misjudgments.”

Crenshaw Christian Center official Tamara Taylor elaborated on Fred Price Jr.’s stepping down:

“Well, we know what you know. That’s what he said to us.”

Tamara Taylor continued:

”As long as he told us it was personal misjudgment we really shouldn’t speculate.”

He said to congregants during a worship service which was broadcast on Facebook Live:

“I really want to say thank you to those that have stood with me and stood by me and those that have interceded, those that have stood in the gap.”

Pastor Fred Price Jr. went on to say:

”You didn’t know much. You just knew that I was away and I appreciate you not needing to know all of the details. Just know I’ve pretty much been sleeping in the valley of the shadow of death and well I’m no longer there.” 

Regarding his father, he said:

“I believe I’m going to do something different and all I have to do is stand on his shoulders and if I stand on his shoulders, I can see much further than he did.”

Pastor Fred Price Jr. later added:

”He laid the foundation, so I don’t need to lay a new foundation. I just need to build on his.”

Angel C. Price is the wife of Pastor Frederick K. Price Jr.

On March 15, 2009, she became the First Lady of Crenshaw Christian Center after her husband was installed as the Senior Pastor of CCC.

Lately I have been reflecting of what Apostol Price meant to me. Although I never met him in person, I used to watch his program Ever Increasing Faith every Sunday morning in Jersey city New Jersey. I used to come home drunk and high on Sunday morning and would turn the TV on to listen to Pastor Price and his wisdom of the word. Years later I was born again, entered ministry and I'm pastoring several churches today. Will always be grateful for Pastor Price and his obedience to the Lord.

I watched pastor Price every Sunday morning before going to my own church service I thought he was interesting, funny and informative! After a while I just went a different route to hear the word! Even though I stopped watch him after so many years I truly had the upmost respect for him and his wife! When his son took over it just wasn’t the same he seemed to struggle a lot to deliver the word! Nonetheless I wish them the desires of their hearts! Stay strong and know exactly what God expects and requires on your own! Rest in heavenly peace sir you are missed.
