Baptist minister
Immersion-practicing church leader
A Baptist minister is a clergy member ordained to lead a Baptist congregation.
Unlike Catholic or Orthodox priests, Baptist ministers derive authority from their local church rather than hierarchical appointment.
They preach, conduct baptisms (by full immersion), officiate weddings and funerals, and provide pastoral care.
The Baptist minister delivered a fiery sermon on redemption.
