University Baptist Church is a multi-racial, multi-ethnic, multi-theological congregation where people worship together, serve the same Lord, walk in love for one another, celebrate the same salvation in Jesus Christ, and embrace the same hope for the coming of the reign of God. We associate with others locally and nationally to do more collectively than we can do on our own. We support mission and ministry in the Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Area through partnership with the District of Columbia Baptist Convention, and national and international mission and ministry through partnership with American Baptist Churches, USA, and the Alliance of Baptists.
We are seeking a senior pastor who is a community builder and compassionate guide, possessing a deep understanding of scripture and the ability to convey its teachings through engaging sermons. Experience in the pulpit and a visionary outlook for growth are essential, coupled with a commitment to social justice and equity. We're looking for someone who embodies a blend of inspiring leadership and deep faith. With a strong pastoral presence, they should be empathetic and caring, capable of guiding and supporting the community through tact and wisdom. Strong administrative abilities and collaborative organizational skills are desired to guide our staff and congregation.

About 30 minutes from San Antonio, Touchstone Community Church is in Boerne - a rapidly growing town in the scenic Texas Hill Country. Known for its German heritage, limestone hills, and small-town charm, Boerne blends historic character with modern development. Since 2021 the town has experienced a 24% growth rate and is expected to reach a population of 25,000 by 2026. The area is largely conservative—politically, socially, and religiously—and is home to a range of mainline and non-denominational churches.
Touchstone Community Church has 52 members, the majority of whom are highly engaged, with only three not currently participating due to health or geography. Average weekly attendance is around 35, including both in-person and Zoom participants. The congregation includes 28 retirees, 24 working adults, and one member who is not currently in the workforce. Approximately 24 members identify as LGBTQIA+, and 12 are allies with LGBTQ+ family members. Eleven members are people of color.
Most members identify as progressive Christians, though we welcome people across the faith spectrum—including those who are spiritual but not religious, agnostic, or atheist who are drawn to community, shared values, and the work of justice and inclusion. Touchstone is deeply committed to being open and affirming of all identities and family structures.
In addition to its members, Touchstone has 9 regular visitors (some of whom began attending in 2024) and has seen a 10% growth since January 2025. Seven individuals
have re-engaged with the community since Fall 2024. The church supports connection beyond Sunday worship through the Touchstone Chat Connection—a text message group for ongoing community engagement—and a men’s fellowship group, which includes both members and participants from outside the congregation.
