University Baptist Church is part of a coalition of campus ministries at the University of Minnesota that includes Lutheran Campus Ministry (ELCA), the University Episcopal Center, Hillel Jewish Student Center, the McLaurin Institute, the Presbyterian Campus Connection, and St. Lawrence Catholic Church/the Newman Center.

UBC is a part of ICC because of its commitment to interfaith dialog, its respect for diversity and religious pluralism, and its efforts to develop a code of ethics for campus ministries that allows religious communities to have a meaningful presence at the University while respecting the boundaries between church and state.

UBC also supports the Anti-Homophobia Project, a campus outreach project supported by Lutheran Campus Ministry, Hillel, Wesley United Methodist Church, First Congregational Church of Minnesota, and the University of Minnesota's GLBT Programs Office, that seeks to improve the campus environment for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people by confronting and educating about religious homophobia.
