From wikipedia: Alma and Kent White started the MethodistPentecostalUnion Church inDenver, Coloradoin December 1901. She led hymns and prayers, and at times preached sermons. In 1907, Caroline Garretson (formerly Carolin Van Neste Field), widow of Peter Workman Garretson, donated a farm for a religious community atZarephath, New Jersey.

This was developed as the headquarters for the renamedPillar of Fire Church, which distanced itself from the Pentecostal movement. In 1918, White was consecrated as a bishop byWilliam Baxter Godbey, an ordained Methodist evangelist who was active in theHoliness Movement.[8][12][13]She was now the first woman to serve as a bishop in the United States.[2]
