Convencao Batista Carioca

What Convencao Batista Carioca does

Convencao Batista Carioca (CBC) is a Rio de Janeiro-based religious nonprofit organization established in 1905 (originally as União das Igrejas Batistas no Rio) that serves as the coordinating denominational body for 100+ affiliated Baptist churches organized into 13 regional associations (Redes) covering all major districts of Rio de Janeiro, including Centro, Jacarepaguá, Zona Norte, Zona Oeste, Zona Sul, and surrounding suburbs. Governed by an elected President and the CGAM (Conselho Geral de Administração e Missões), CBC convenes annual assemblies (122nd scheduled for May 2026), administers a Cooperative Plan (Plano Cooperativo) under which member churches fund citywide evangelization, and operates auxiliary ministries including youth (JBC), women's missions (UFMBC), music (AMBC), adolescents (ABC), Christian education (OECBB), men's ministry (Homens Batistas Cariocas), and social action (JASB).

The organization's digital product surface consists of the Sinergia ecosystem: SinergiaPlay (video streaming of worship services, messages, and biblical studies), Sinergia Kids (children's religious programming), and SinergiaCast (podcast distribution via Anchor.fm), complemented by the Banco de Talentos volunteer matching platform that connects churches needing help with willing volunteers. It also operates Missões Rio as a dedicated mission arm and supports Lar Batista do Idoso (Baptist Home for the Elderly) through charitable donation channels.

Revenue mechanics are not publicly disclosed and operate primarily on voluntary member church contributions through the Plano Cooperativo, donations collected via Missões Rio and Lar Batista do Idoso, and modest event registration fees (R$30-R$60 per delegate for the 122nd Assembly). The organization employs 22 staff, operates from Rio de Janeiro, and shows no evidence of external investors, subsidiaries beyond the regional redes, or commercial product monetization. Source attribution spans multiple WX-prefixed IDs, with serving as the primary first-party website source.
