After 35 years of leading a faith movement, Fred Price will step aside March 15 to install his son, Fred Price Jr., as senior pastor of Crenshaw Christian Center (CCC) in Los Angeles.
Feb. 27, 2009 - Fred Price, founder of one of the nation's first black megachurches and an icon of the faith movement, will step aside on March 15 to install his son, Fred Price Jr., as senior pastor of Crenshaw Christian Center (CCC) in Los Angeles.
"The formal succession of my son will take place on his 30th birthday, the same day Jesus began his ministry," said the elder Price, who still plans to teach periodically. "This wasn't planned, it just happened that way. I believe that it's a sign from God that after six years of training as an assistant pastor, Freddie is ready to sit in the driver's seat and I will be there to help him along his way."
