Pastor Eugenio Piñero graduated in 1976 from Northeastern Bible College , located in Essex Fells, New Jersey (USA). During his formative years, he joined Trinity Baptist Church, also in Essex Fells (later in Montville), where he was deeply influenced by the pastoral ministry of Albert N. Martin.

"Pastor Albert N. Martin's ministry was a powerful influence on his biblical knowledge and spiritual character development."

 

Calling to the pastorate

In October 1977 , Pastor Piñero was called to serve as interim pastor of First Baptist Church in Hoboken, New Jersey. After a process of evaluation according to the biblical standards set forth in 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1:5-9 , he was officially recognized and called as senior pastor in February 1978.

Distintive characteristics:

• Commitment to the biblical model of pastoral leadership
• Focus on personal and ministerial holiness
• Continued search for wisdom and spiritual advice

Ministerial impact and biblical development

Under his leadership, the church experienced significant growth in the understanding and application of the Scriptures in personal, family and church life.

"We must follow the Scriptures wherever they direct us."

 

This approach has helped many believers to rediscover biblical, genuine and historical Christianity, which in many cases has been forgotten in contemporary practice.

Ministry beyond his Congregation

As God blessed his work, other pastors began to seek his advice and guidance. This allowed him to share what he had received, strengthening the growth of biblical ministries committed to spiritual reform.

Impacted areas:

• Personal life: Daily application of the Word of God.
• Christian family: Re-establishment of biblical values in the home.
• Local Church: Doctrinal and practical renewal in the community of faith.

"May this be our perspective as a church, every day of our earthly pilgrimage."
