Resumo
Esta pesquisa buscou investigar sociologicamente o entendimento das possíveis razões para a disparidade entre quatro igrejas presbiterianas na cidade de Campinas (SP), nos períodos entre 2010 e 2015. Tais igrejas são pertencentes à Igreja Presbiteriana do Brasil. A expressão “disparidade” é aqui utilizada observando-se a dissemelhança entre as quatro igrejas, o declínio do número de membros de duas delas e o crescimento do número de membros das outras duas. O aporte metodológico utilizado foram pesquisas bibliográficas com base em amplo levantamento teórico sobre os aspectos históricos e sociológicos que contribuíram para os processos de crescimento e decrescimento das quatro igrejas presbiterianas na cidade de Campinas. A investigação também se deu com base em pesquisa de campo, através de entrevistas com os pastores destas quatro igrejas. Utilizou-se também o levantamento de dados estatísticos destas e também da cidade de Campinas, objetivando localizar as razões que contribuíram na promoção do declínio, ou ainda, crescimento do número de membros. Investigou-se também o cenário da liderança de igrejas locais no âmbito da Igreja Presbiteriana do Brasil, bem como o processo de formação de pastores e presbíteros, considerando que estes dois grupos compõe a liderança primeira da denominação.
