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.

As news hits us from Oklahoma, our hearts go out to the people directly affected by this disaster. Our natural response is to wonder what we can do to help. The best way to help (in addition to prayer) is to send money to our ecumenical networks of relief agencies. Simply write a check to UBC and indicate Oklahoma tornado relief in the memo line. The funds will be pooled with funds from other churches as part of the ecumenical One Great Hour of Sharing offering. We pray that this is the last of the tornadoes to devastate this area this year.
Blessings and peace,
Doug Donley

Entertaining Angels: Peacemaking through Radical Hospitality
Peace Camp this year will be from July 15-20, 2013 in Spokane, WA on the campus of Gonzaga University. The program is amazing; filled with inspiring leaders, thought-provoking workshops, exciting activities, and more! Yet even better than that is the amazing group of people who come from all over the continent each year. That gathered community is the very best part of the week.
There are two vouchers available at UBC to help with the financial costs for two first-time attendees. In addition, this year a donor is providing the option of free registration and half-price meals and rooms for people of color. We also have a grant this year to support our young adult companioning program. Through this program, young adults (18-29) are paired with an older member of our network. They commit to talking at least once a month about living as people of peace in the midst of their daily realities of jobs, school, relationships and more.
If you are interested in these opportunities, please see Pastor Doug.

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. |
