Our Pastors

Fellowship of Pastors

This page gathers pastors who stand together within the OPBCB, a body formed on May 26, 2012, at Igreja Batista Boas Novas do Rodoanel in Carapicuíba, São Paulo. Those listed here share a common conviction: classic Baptist doctrine held by choice, not inherited custom, with faith resting entirely on the Bible as the Word of God.

Affiliation is personal and doctrinal rather than institutional. Pastors associated with the order have professed faith in Christ, received baptism by immersion in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and taken up the call to serve within their local churches while maintaining communion with fellow classic Baptist pastors across Brazil.

The fellowship of pastors within the Ordem dos Pastores Batistas Clássicos do Brasil represents a shared commitment to historic Baptist convictions that reach beyond institutional boundaries. These are men who have chosen to align themselves with classic Baptist doctrine not as a matter of inherited tradition, but as a deliberate conviction rooted in Scripture. Their affiliation is personal and doctrinal, grounded in a common confession of faith in Christ and a shared reliance on the Bible as the final authority for faith and practice. This voluntary association creates a network of mutual accountability and encouragement among pastors who serve congregations across Brazil, united by core principles rather than organizational hierarchy.

Pastors associated with the order embrace the distinctive emphases of classic Baptist theology, including the sufficiency of Scripture, the autonomy of the local church, and the priesthood of all believers. These convictions shape both their preaching and pastoral ministry, as they seek to lead congregations that are grounded in the Word of God. The fellowship provides a context where pastors can stand together in their commitment to sound doctrine while respecting the independence of each local church. This balance of shared conviction and congregational autonomy reflects the historic Baptist understanding of church governance, where cooperation flows from common faith rather than centralized authority.

The formation of this pastoral fellowship traces to a gathering of like-minded ministers who recognized the need for a body dedicated to classic Baptist principles in Brazil. Those who join do so by affirming their faith in Christ and their adherence to biblical doctrine as understood through the historic Baptist tradition. This association serves as a means of encouragement, doctrinal preservation, and cooperative ministry among pastors who might otherwise labor in isolation. Through their shared commitment, these pastors strengthen one another in the faithful proclamation of the gospel, ensuring that classic Baptist witness continues to thrive in congregations throughout the nation.
