  • The Pillar of Fire Church (POF) is a Christian denomination headquartered in Zarephath, New Jersey, USA, with a congregation in Denver, Colorado, USA, and other locations worldwide. It was established by Bishop Alma White in 1901 in Denver, Colorado as the Pentecostal Union. She and her husband, Reverend Kent White, separated when he became part of the Azusa Street Revival of Pentecostalism. She eventually changed the name of the group to Pillar of Fire, to avoid any link to the Pentecostal movement. Adherents were referred to as holy rollers, and "holy jumpers", because of their religious frenzy. The Pillar of Fire name comes from Exodus 13:21-22 which states: "By day the Lord went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could travel by day or night. Neither the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire by night left its place in front of the people. " The church's theological position is self described as Wesleyan-Arminian. The church operates six congregations in the United States, two colleges, missions in six other countries, and three radio stations.
