Acts 2

What’s God’s plan for the years you’re in college? Come discover your purpose and find lifelong friendships with the men and women of Acts 2.

What is Acts 2?

Acts 2 is a group of students at the University of Nebraska at Omaha who want to make college count for more than just a degree. We want to share the life-transforming power of the gospel of Jesus Christ and believe this is best done by working alongside the local church. Therefore, we are actively connected to Candlewood Church right here in Omaha.

Our mission: to reach the campus with the gospel alongside the local church, to make lifelong disciples.

AJ Deleski

Campus Missionary

As a freshman in high school I made the decision to follow Jesus and make him the King of my life. Since then, God has used the men and women of Acts 2 to show me what a genuine community of believers who want to obey Christ’s commands looks like. As a Campus Missionary, I am passionate about discipling others to obey Christ and reaching UNO with the Gospel.

Kara Van Schooneveld

Campus Missionary

I grew up hearing about God and going to Sunday School, but Jesus’ power to save never clicked for me until I finally realized how much I needed Him when I was in middle school. Since then, I’ve wanted to share what He has done for me and everyone, and especially with people who are my age. Even though I grew up going to Candlewood, I chose to go to UNO purposefully so I could join Acts 2 and share the Gospel with the students there. As a Campus Missionary, I spend my time going out on campus and sharing the Gospel, alongside with making purposeful connections with those I meet to show them Christ’s love that’s a gift to us all.

Devlin McCann

Campus Missionary

I grew up in a non-Christian household but I always had believed in God. I never understood who Jesus truly was and what he did on the cross. Growing up, two of my family members and I found myself very upset with God, which led me down a dark path as I got older. I gave my life to Christ on August 31, 2022 as a freshman in college after two guys with Acts 2 shared the gospel with me. Since then my life has been redeemed and forever changed. As a campus missionary, I spend my time discipling others to grow in their faith and to become disciple makers, along with sharing the gospel message with others.
