Who We Are
We are a joint campus ministry of the Sierra Pacific Synod of the ELCA and the Episcopal Diocese of Northern California of The Episcopal Church. We have been serving students for over 55 years!
The Belfry started in 1967 with the establishment of the Lutheran Campus Council. In 1989, The Belfry moved into its own space in the big yellow house on A Street. In 2000, The Belfry became a joint campus ministry between the Lutherans and Episcopalians.
We are members of the Interfaith Campus Council at UCD. Every quarter, the ICC comes together to do interfaith events including the Interfaith Moveable Feast and Interfaith Harmony Week.
We are a Reconciling in Christ ministry. To learn more about RIC, read our welcome statement down below.
We welcome folks of all races, countries of origin, documentation status, sexual orientations, gender identities/expressions, ethnicities, and abilities.
