Dr. Price

Treasure 

Pastor Henry Price, II is a native Houstonian, born and raised in the heart of Third Ward. He was born at Negro General Hospital known today as Riverside General Hospital to Mr. & Mrs. Henry Price, I. He attended Blackshear Elementary School, Ryan Junior High School and Jack Yates High School. Affectionately known to family and friends as J.P. or Junior Price, Rev. Price has loving accepted a new name, God’s servant.

Pastor Price enlisted in the United States Army where he received the first high call from God while standing in the gun inspection line. After being discharged, he returned to Houston. Upon his return, his notorious lifestyle granted him several infractions with the law and numerous brushes with death. However, God had a plan.

Building community is to the collective as spiritual practice is to the individual.
