Welcome to University Baptist Church (UBC). Located adjacent to the University of Minnesota, we are linked with the University community and beyond to the greater Twin Cities. An intentional focus on inclusiveness, peacemaking, and social justice guides our worship and ministries. Fine music is integral to our worship, with varied ensembles for self-expression. Our affiliations are not only American Baptist but across denominations.... all are welcome here. We are intrigued and captured by the challenge and the whimsy of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, while seeking to live out this Good News in our individual and collective lives.
Our mission at UBC is: - to be a loving and inclusive community
- seeking faith, joy and action
- nurtured by the biblical traditions, the teachings of Christ, and God's continuing revelation.
Our congregation includes all ages from varied walks of life. These multi-talented, dedicated participants greatly enhance the life and ministries of UBC. Please browse through the website to learn more about UBC, our ministries, programs and educational opportunities. Better yet, come and visit us in person. We'd like to get to know you.

Special Fellowship Fund Offering Each communion Sunday (first Sunday of the month) UBC collects a special offering for persons who come to us with personal and immediate need. These needs are met by the gifts you place in the Fellowship Fund Offering boxes at the front and side doors of the sanctuary each communion Sunday. Thank you for all the ways you care. |

January 2012 Mission Offering |
|
|
|
|
In January our Mission focus turns toward ecumenical ministry and two of our closest and most trusted ministry partners, Church World Service and the Minnesota Joint Religious Legislative Coalition (JRLC).
Church World Service, supported by 37 member denominations, has been feeding the world's hungry for over 65 years. Its work is ever-expanding and now coordinates programs that distribute supplies for newborns, blankets, and more to those most desperately in need of a helping hand. Its global mission is to eradicate hunger and poverty and to promote social justice.
Closer to home, Minnesota's JRLC, an interfaith coalition made up of Protestants, Catholics, Jews, and Muslims, works to achieve the common good for all Minnesotans through political engagement. Executive director, Brian Rusche, and staff serve as our eyes and ears and voices at the state capitol, keeping us informed about what's happening in St. Paul and bringing our concerns to the attention of elected officials.
You can check out both online at www.jrlc.org and www.churchworldservice.org, and get updates on Facebook. To make a gift, use the special offering envelopes in the pews during the month of January or mail your check to the church. Be sure to mark your contribution "ecumenical offering."
