Serving Students in Oakland
PRISM (Pittsburgh Regional International Student Ministry) is based in Oakland (at Bellefield Presbyterian Church on 5th Ave.) and welcomes international students at the Pittsburgh universities. The ministry exists to share the gospel in word and deed with international scholars thru relational activities, ESL classes, Bible study, friendship partners and holiday hosting. They also operate "Hospitality House", a residential facility that houses some of the students they serve. More information on this vital ministry can be found at www.prismpgh.org. CRPC has had a long-standing ministry relationship with PRISM, with several of our members in the past serving in staff or volunteer capacities.
