INTENTIONAL INTERIM PASTOR, UNIVERSITY BAPTIST CHURCH
Minneapolis, Minnesota
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 current 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 5, 2026 (Sunday), we ask interested candidates to send their resumes and any other relevant information to:
Rev. Diane Ehr

University Baptist Church (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.
INTENTIONAL INTERIM PASTOR, CENTRAL BAPTIST CHURCH
Wayne, Pennsylvania
Central Baptist Church (CBC), a progressive, justice-seeking congregation on suburban Philadelphia’s Main Line, seeks a full-time Intentional Interim Pastor to guide us through a season of reflection, healing, and renewal. We are emerging from a long-term pastoral partnership and a period of member-led worship and pastoral care (“No Pastor Model”), ready to examine our history, redefine our organizational structure, and discern our future identity in preparation for calling a settled pastor. We are looking for a transition specialist—not just a placeholder—who can help us break unhealthy patterns, process grief and conflict, and prepare the soil for a new chapter of ministry.
