Be rooted
somewhere real.
Acts2 Santa Barbara is a college church at UCSB where students can seek answers, strengthen faith, and serve others.
Welcome, Class of 2030!
Your college years can shape more than your resume.
Acts2 Santa Barbara gives you a place to grow during the years that are shaping you.
Established in 2014
- Isla Vista, CA
We're a college church at UCSB where you can ask real questions, build lasting friendships, grow in your faith, and make a difference.
Inspired by the community in Acts chapter 2, we’re all about doing college life together. What that looks like is sunset jam sessions, pickup basketball games, hosting dinners in our apartments - all while discovering purpose, exploring faith, getting to know Jesus, and supporting each other every step of the way. Whether you're new to Christianity or just interested in learning more, there's a spot for you here!

Ways to Get Connected

Our Sunday College Gatherings are a great time to worship together ⛪︎, learn from the Bible 📖, and hang out afterwards over a meal 🍴! Whether you're exploring faith or just looking to connect, everyone’s welcome—no matter your background!
Connect Groups
We typically start with a home-cooked meal, then have engaging conversations to grow closer to Jesus and one another! Connect groups allow you to build friendships in a smaller group, outside of our larger events.
