A native of New York City, Brenda Price is a journalism graduate of City College of New York. After a traumatic incident in her life Brenda returned to the church of her childhood and following the leading of the Holy Spirit rejoined the Lord and the church.

In 1989 she was licensed to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and was ordained in 1995 by the Convent Avenue Baptist Church.

Rev. Price has served as the Minister of Social Services since 2002. The Ministry of Social Services seeks to identify and address the needs of our all community members through the different government and social services agencies in Harlem and New York City. Rev. Price has created a senior citizen program called S.C.A.M.P. (Senior Citizen Advocacy and Monitoring Program). This program is enabling the church to identify, contact and fellowship with the many seniors over the age 80 in the church.

Rev. Price has served as a Bible teacher, workshop leader, teacher trainer, Youth Worship leader, supply preacher and a prayer warrior. She has also served as a consultant to other churches to help as needed. She received her Masters of Divinity degree from Alliance Theology Seminary in Nyack, New York.

Rev. Price has performed missionary journeys to the Caribbean and Africa and hopes to do other another short term assignment to Africa in the near future. Rev. Price is a Bereavement Group Leader. She, along with her associates, has formed the Pioneer Bereavement Support Circle designed to conduct grief support groups and bereavement sensitivity training for the community and those in mourning.

Personally, Rev. Price says, "I am a child of God. I am fully persuaded that Jesus died on the cross paying the penalty for my sins and arose alive from the grave three days later. Reconciling oneself to God should be the goal of all human life. The purpose of my preaching is that all would be reconciled to Lord and enjoy him."
