Crenshaw Christian Center
Los Angeles, California
As President of Crenshaw Christian Center, Inc.,
Angela Marie Evans is responsible for the operation
of a 22,000-member church, four schools, and
chairs a variety of community development organizations.
To say that she wears many hats would be an understatement.
Born to Fred and Betty Price on September 25,
1956, Angela grew up in a loving, yet financially
challenged Christian home. Her father worked
as a preacher, while her mother was a homemaker.
Life wasn’t easy during the early years
of the Price family, but there was plenty of
love and eventually every member of the family
prevailed.
Angela attended schools within the Los Angeles
Unified School district, eventually graduating
from Hamilton High School in 1974. She briefly
attended West Los Angeles Community College,
where she met her husband, A. Michael Evans,
Jr. They were married in 1976 and are the proud
parents of a son, Alan, 24 and a daughter, Adrian,
21.
Angela began her career by working at Crenshaw
Christian Center as a secretary at the request
of her father. She eventually left West LA
College after being promoted and further enhanced
her
administrative skills. Many years later, her
shrewd judge of character and regular demonstration
of compassion and sensitivity led her to ultimately
becoming the President of CCC and overseer
of the 10,000-seat FaithDome, a church sanctuary
that has become a Los Angeles city landmark.
As president of a $40 million corporation,
she
is the heads a staff of over 200 employees
working in 14 divisions of operation. In 19??,
Mrs. Evans,
along with her parents, co-founded the Frederick
K.C. Price III preschool, elementary, secondary
and senior high schools. The schools are named
in memory of her deceased older brother. Mrs.
Evans also chars the Education Advisory Board
for the schools.
With all of her efforts at
Crenshaw Christian Center, Mrs. Evans has been
thrust into the
public eye and has thus, become active in
many community
organizations. She is the corporate secretary
for the Fellowship of Inner-City Word of
Faith Ministries (FICWFM), an organization founded
by her father, Dr. Fred Price, to minister
to the needs of churches in the inner-cities
and
to provide fellowship for the member churches.
Mrs. Evans is also the president of the Vermont
Village Community Development Corporation,
which was founded as a result of the vision
of her
mother, Dr. Betty Price, to restore and revitalize
the community surrounding Crenshaw Christian
Center.
Mrs. Evans is an active member of
several professional organizations as Town
Hall Los
Angeles, The
American Management Association, Recycling
Black Dollars
and The Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
She has received many awards and honors
for her
outstanding work in the community as well
as recognition
from local, state and national governments.
