ABOUT US
We are a community of students following Jesus together at The Belfrey, York
The Belfrey is one of the big student churches in the city, located right next to the minster in the center of York. The student community are part of the Belfrey family who have a vision to serve God's transformation of the North. We gather to worship, learn, serve, relax, and grow as followers of Jesus.
The Belfrey is a community of people learning to follow Jesus and serve God’s transformation of the North of England. We love this city that we call home, and throughout your degree we think you’ll love it too. We might be biased, but we believe that this great city - with two amazing universities - is the best place to be. Whilst we love York, its people, and the universities, what we love most of all is the amazing, generous, perfect God who made it all.
God loved the world so much that He came to earth Himself - becoming human like us - to show us the way to live as the people who we were truly made to be. This man is Jesus, and we are a community of people - all ages, life stages, and ethnicities - who live to learn from and follow Him.

The Interns
Rachel Sterling |
Patrick Corley |
|
Rachel is a recent Psychology in Education graduate from the University of York. She is passionate about social justice and the abolition of modern day slavery. She hopes to encourage the next generation of students to pursue this area. In her spare time, Rachel practices prophetic art and can be found in pretty much any of the independent coffee shops in York. Do join her some time!

Patrick is from Cheltenham, and has spent the last year working for Cheltenham Town FC as a Sports Journalist, but has felt strongly called to Student Ministry. His passion to serve and help grow those of us who get lost in the crowds has led him to The Belfrey, a church whose heart to invest in young adults is evident.

Rebecca, having spent the last 3 years studying literature at the University of York and being extensively involved in the Christian Union, has grown increasingly convinced of the importance of student mission. She loves reading and painting in coffee shops and talking about Jesus.

Saf has spent the last 3 years in York, 2 of them being as a student and the last year working at a restaurant after realising that university wasn’t the right thing for her. She feels called to make the students at The Belfrey know that there’s a church family that they can be welcomed into and loved through! She loves singing and spending time building relationships with people and encouraging others!
