Many of the evangelists at Glad Tidings— from its founding and certainly today— are and have been women. After the 1916 meeting with Maria Woodworth-Etter, and following the Aimee Semple McPherson meeting in 1919, Glad Tidings has continued to host a succession of women evangelists.
They include Zelma Argue, Emma Van Dalen, Emma Taylor, Roxie Alford, Mollie Persk, Margarette Dieter (a former actress), Mary Moore, Betty Howard (the famous girl evangelist), Wilma Short, Alice Luce, Helen Campbell, Uldine Utley (another girl evangelist), Rose Mueller, F.G.Murcutt (a medical doctor), and Ester May Cooper.
To this day women continue as “co-laborers” in our church. They manage teams of people from the staff to the board level; they occupy numerous other roles of leadership.

Recent women evangelists and pastors that have graced GT are Erma Contreras, Priscilla Wilson-Taylor, Judy Braddy, Devi Titus, Linda Huddleston, and Denise Johnson-Ryan.
Pastor Forrest’s mother was a dynamic preacher and leader, and Christina Beiser is a favorite speaker at GT today. She carries the title of co-pastor with strength and dignity.
