Bold. Extraordinary. Notable.
One man’s realization of building a bigger boat to serve others is captured by South LA Recap — a digital documentary project dedicated to unraveling the immense history, secrets and stories of South Los Angeles.
The legendary man who left an indelible mark worldwide is Apostle Frederick K.C. Price, Founder of Crenshaw Christian Center (CCC) and Ever-Increasing Faith Ministries. To understand the origin of the FaithDome, one must get to know the man behind its existence.
The 52-minute documentary commanded more than 30,000 views within three days of its May 10th release. It is an intimate and very transparent look at Fred and Betty Price’s humble start through multiple faith-fueled achievements.
A deep dive into the transfer of the 32-acre parsonage whose front entrance is located at Vermont and 79th, from original owners, Pepperdine University, and the eventual construction of the FaithDome, is replete with very frank reflections from Dr. Betty Price, son and pastor of CCC, Frederick K. Price, and daughter and CCC President and CEO, Mrs. Angela Evans. Their comments are straightforward and an honest look back, through and inward as a resetting for the ministry’s next iteration.

Its campus includes a thriving nursery and K-12 school, with a solid track record of 100% graduation and 100% college acceptance. With a robust alumnus of over 10,000, whip smart and skilled changemakers are shaping a vibrant world in all sectors of society.
When asked why the story of the FaithDome should be told, South LA Recap creator, Eric Craig, offered heartfelt thoughts, “Just before I started this documentary, I hit a lull, and didn’t know what I’d like to explore for my next project. I remember talking with my mom one day about The Recap, and she told me something that sparked this whole journey.”
She said, “You know, I remember I would take your grandmother to the FaithDome for Sunday Service, and she would walk on the campus and look at the manicured lot, the buildings, and the larger-than-life FaithDome in amazement saying, ‘A Black man did all of this?’
“That imagery of thinking about my grandmother who came to Los Angeles by train via Shreveport, and seeing what was possible on the West Coast for Black people was incredible. That struck a chord with the Recap. And it struck a chord with me.”
Craig asserts that through extensive research for this work, which spanned just over seven months, he got a glimpse of why so many other people are moved by the story. Crenshaw Christian Center, which is now 50 years old, “has members who can recount its past in their own personal memories, thinking about their own contributions that made it happen,” Craig states.
He continues, “There is much admiration for Apostle Frederick K.C. Price. He touched many lives. He guided many people who needed it. He introduced God’s Word in a way that no one else had. And his legacy of service through ministry is forever intertwined with the FaithDome. And the Dome is a standing example of what has been possible in South Los Angeles.”
