Construction was completed in 1989 on the 10,146-seat dome at a cost of more than $10 million. Ground was broken for the FaithDome on September 28, 1986, and construction began on January 5, 1987. After the purchase, Price oversaw construction of a new sanctuary, called the "FaithDome", which at the time was the largest domed church in the United States. In 1981, the church bought the old Pepperdine University campus.

Price then joined the Christian and Missionary Alliance at West Washington Community Church in 1965. In the early 1960s, Price served at Westminster Presbyterian Church in Los Angeles. He then pastored an African Methodist Episcopal church in Val Verde, California from 1957 to 1959. Soon after becoming born again, Price claimed to have felt the call from God to go into the ministry, serving mostly part-time, while working as a paper cutter, as an assistant pastor in a Baptist church from 1955 to 1957. At one of these services, he received Jesus Christ as his personal savior. Price began attending these services with his wife.
