The Brazilian Baptist Convention or Convenção Batista Brasileira is the oldest Brazil. The first Baptist missionary in Brazil appears to have been Thomas Jefferson Bowen, who served there for the Southern Baptist Convention from 1859 to 1861. A group of Southerners from the United States of America founded a colony in São Paulo, and formed a Baptist church in 1871. The first Brazilian church was organized in 1882, and twenty-five years later the Brazilian Baptist Convention was formed in 1907 in Salvador.
In 1995, the Brazilian Baptist Convention had 902,000 members in 4810 congregations.

The Baptist John Leland, was the one who most influenced Thomas Jefferson in the contention for religious freedom and the condemnation of state religion, which resulted in an amendment to the Constitution of the United States in 1791.
Baptists agree that the celebration of the Lord’s Supper does not involve eating the literal body nor drinking the literal blood of Christ – it is a memorial of Jesus’ sacrifice, and an announcement of the Lord’s death until he comes (1Co 11.26).
