Bellefield’s children and youth ministry has supported me and my family from the time my children were born. They provide foundational Biblical teaching to our 3 daughters (age 12, 10, and 7) through Sunday school, children in worship (during Sunday service) and youth group during the week. They also host seasonal events that friends can be invited to attend for a chance to have some fun in a safe environment outside of church. Tanya and Matthew really care about each child that they serve. They follow-up with my kids regularly about how they are doing and what’s going on in their lives. They provide a source of encouragement to them and a place to continue to learn and grow in their faith. I’m thankful to Bellefield for this ministry.

Youth Ministry
Our Youth Ministry enables 6th-12th grade children of our members, our neighbors, and others in the Oakland community to flourish and grow in Christ. Youth Group meets on Mondays and Sunday classes are each Sunday at 9:45am during the school year.
Everyone is welcome! Email Matthew for more info.
University Ministry
Our University Ministry is an interdenominational Christian fellowship for undergraduate students, and is in partnership with the Coalition for Christian Outreach. We provide opportunities to connect with God and others through various Bible Studies and our large group fellowship. We serve the greater-Oakland area including Chatham, CMU, Carlow, and University of Pittsburgh.
We believe that Christ is our true identifier. This is something that we wish for every college student to know.
When Christ looks at you, he says, “Mine.” You are His.

Young Adults: Rooted
Scripture points out that there is a way of wisdom, a path to walk in that will result in rest for our souls. As graduate students and young adults at Bellefield, we strive together to follow that path. We do that through small groups meant to encourage, instruct, and lift one another up. We do it through practices like service and hospitality. We do it through monthly gatherings of all young adults and grad students called Rooted.
We’d love to have you join us walking the path. Contact Greg for more information.
Adult Discipleship
For the adults in our community we offer a number of ways to engage in discipleship. Sunday Classes, Sunday Morning Worship, and Men’s and Women’s ministries meet in order to fellowship and to present the life changing love of Jesus Christ, in order that people may come to know Christ as their Lord and Savior, grow as Christ’s disciples, and serve Christ in the church and in the world.
Bellefield has meant so much to us as we have gone from being college students to young adults to a young family with children. Each step of the way, being a part of a small group has been one way we have experienced God at Bellefield. We love the opportunity to not only study the Bible with other believers but to share in life with dear friends. Bellefield has also given us the opportunity to develop intergenerational relationships that have meant a great deal to us. Bellefield may have started as the church that was right across the street from the dorms we lived in but it has become our community.
