gospel preacher

Proclaimer of salvation

A gospel preacher is a Christian minister who proclaims the gospel—the teachings of Jesus Christ and the message of salvation.

The term appears most often in evangelical and fundamentalist Protestant contexts, emphasizing direct biblical teaching over formal liturgy: The gospel preacher warned of hellfire and called sinners to repentance.

It suggests someone who preaches with conviction and urgency rather than academic detachment.
