interim pastor
Do you know of a progressive pastor looking for an interim appointment who can help guide us during a pastoral search process?
University Baptist Church (UBC) is looking for an intentional interim pastor starting June 1, 2026 (Monday), and lasting through the appointment of a permanent senior pastor. On Sunday, May 31, our beloved pastor, Rev. Doug Donley, is retiring after 25 years of faithful service to the UBC congregation and the community.
Our motto is: “Rooted in justice, working for peace.” We are a small but mighty, welcoming, affirming, social justice-focused congregation that is led by the people and sees community service as part of our worship. We are located in a beautiful, historic building in the heart of Dinkytown in Minneapolis, and we just celebrated our 175th anniversary.
If you or someone you know would be a good fit, we would love to hear from them. By April 11, 2026 (Sunday), we ask interested candidates to send their resumes and any other relevant information to:
Rev. Diane Ehr
3009 Carlsbad Court
Burnsville, MN 55337
We look forward to hearing from you and finding a wonderful interim to help us through this difficult time of transition.

Please help us spread the word by sharing this position with your networks. UBC is a member of the American Baptist Churches USA, the Alliance of Baptists, and the Association of Welcoming and Affirming Baptists. We would welcome any like-minded individuals for our interim pastor, regardless of denomination.
Blessings and thank you for being part of the extended UBC community!
