Baptist preacher
Immersion-focused Protestant clergy
A Baptist preacher is a minister or pastor in a Baptist church, a Protestant denomination emphasizing adult baptism by immersion and congregational governance.
The term often evokes a particular style of preaching—passionate, Bible-centered, and rhetorically forceful: The Baptist preacher's voice rose and fell like thunder.
In American culture, Baptist preachers have been prominent figures in both civil rights movements and conservative evangelicalism.
