Post date:

Title: Associate Minister

Duration: June 2024-June 2026

About BACC: Founded in 1828, the church today is a small congregation of mainline Protestant worshipers (United Church of Christ) that actively welcomes LGBTQ+ members, with a strong commitment to racial and environmental justice. Through our ministries, we also provide food relief to thousands in Allston-Brighton at our twice-monthly food pantry. All of our staff are required to follow COVID safety protocols set by the church.

Who We’re Looking For: This residency is for a person who is both Trans AND BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color), who is looking for their first call (first job as a minister of a church). We recognize the barriers that someone with these dual identities faces to being installed as a minister in their first church and we want to actively combat those barriers. We also recognize the incredible gifts that Trans and BIPOC pastors add to a congregation!
