Pillar <strong>of</strong> Fire<br />

The Pillar <strong>of</strong> Fire was founded by Alma Bridwell<br />

White in Denver on Dec. 29, 1901 as the<br />

Pentecostal Union. In 1917, the name was changed<br />

to Pillar <strong>of</strong> Fire. Alma White was born in Kentucky<br />

in 1862 <strong>and</strong> taught school in Montana where she<br />

met her husb<strong>and</strong>, Kent White, a Methodist minister,<br />

who was a University student in Denver.<br />

Because <strong>of</strong> Alma White’s evangelistic endeavors,<br />

she was frowned upon by her superiors, which<br />

eventually necessitated her withdrawing from<br />

Methodist Church supervision. She was ordained<br />

as Bishop <strong>and</strong> her work spread to many states, to<br />

Engl<strong>and</strong>, <strong>and</strong> since her death to Liberia, West<br />

Africa, Malawi, East Africa, Yugoslavia, Spain,<br />

India <strong>and</strong> the Philippines.<br />

The Pillar <strong>of</strong> Fire organization has a college <strong>and</strong><br />

two seminaries stressing Biblical studies. It operates<br />

eight separate schools for young people. The<br />

church continues to keep in mind the founder’s<br />

goals <strong>and</strong> purposes.<br />
