Belyaevka is located on the right bank of the Ural River, near the mouth of the Urta-Burtya River. The village was established in 1907 during the agrarian reform of Stolypin and was named after the land surveyor Viktor Belyaev. In 1910, a wooden Pokrovskaya church was built here, after which Belyaevka became the volost center of the Aktobe district of the Turgai region. At the same time, a primary school was opened. Before that, priest Shinkaruk taught children the law of God at his home. His family had a large library, which was rare for rural areas, and he made a significant contribution to the moral education of the peasants. A choir of local residents was organized at the church. The Pokrovskaya church existed until the early 1930s, after which it was dismantled, and a pharmacy was built in its place.

Today, the main attraction of Belyaevka is the Church of Dmitry of Thessalonica, built in 2005 near the site of the old church. The idea of constructing a new church arose back in 1992, but work only began seven years later. The laying of the church in honor of the holy great martyr Dmitry of Thessalonica took place on October 2, 1999, and the main construction work began in 2003. Funds for the construction and arrangement of the church were collected from all over the world, with significant assistance from patrons. Five bells were brought from Voronezh by priest Alexander Azarenkov. The large bell, weighing 150 kilograms, is adorned with images of saints Seraphim of Sarov and Dmitry of Thessalonica, along with an inscription about its manufacture in 2004 for the Holy Dmitrievsky Church in Belyaevka. Liturgical vessels, candlesticks, and a chandelier were delivered from Moscow. Most of the icons for the church were painted by artist Alexander Maslovsky.

The consecration of the church took place on November 8, 2005, on the feast day of Dmitry of Thessalonica. The rite of consecration, like the laying, was performed by Metropolitan Valentin of Orenburg and Buzuluk, with the co-serving of the archpriest Nikolai Stremsky, the rector of the Holy Trinity Mercy Monastery. Residents of the district and guests from Bashkiria gathered for the celebration.
