The denomination runs radio stations, a printing press, and educational institutions including a seminary. In the early 20th century, Pillar of Fire was known for its support for women's rights; in the same century, it was known for supporting the Ku Klux Klan and its racist platform. In 1997 and 2009, Pillar of Fire repudiated the denomination's former association with racism and requested forgiveness from God for formerly holding this position. In the present-day, worshippers at the mother church in Zarephath are "young, old, white, black, Asian, Hispanic."
