The Unitarian Universalist Church of Bloomington Normal is part of a liberal religious tradition. Unitarian Universalism is unambiguously, unapologetically, progressive. This church affirms the inherent worth and dignity of all people through antiracism, anti-oppression, supporting the LGBTQIA community, working for reproductive justice, voting rights and other issues as needed. We seek to build Beloved Community not only here but in our surrounding area.

Our congregation is committed to developing a diverse and talented staff team. If you are excited about this role but are unsure whether you meet 100% of the requirements, we encourage you to inquire and/or apply.

Please send cover letter, resume and contact information for 2 – 3 references, and any other supporting documents to office@uubn.org.
