Scripture Reading
Each week we take time to hear God’s Word read aloud, allowing Scripture to speak for itself. This time helps prepare hearts for prayer, centers our focus on the Lord, and reminds us of the truth we stand on.

Expanding Nationwide
What started as a small group has become a growing movement. We help college-aged women grow in prayer, read and live out Scripture, and get connected to a local church. Your support makes it possible to bring this to more campuses and communities across the country.

Small Group Prayer
This is the heart of our morning. We begin by praying out loud for one another, lifting up the person on our right by name. Prayer is simply talking to God, and this time helps make it a normal and natural part of our friendships. After we pray, we discuss the Scripture that was read at the beginning, letting God’s Word guide our conversations and shape our faith.

Coffee & Community
Coffee makes it easier for everyone to show up early, connect, and feel at home. The affirmations on each cup lid add a thoughtful touch and often spark conversations throughout the day. It is a small but meaningful way to create space for friendships to grow before we begin prayer.

Peer Testimonies
Hearing how God is moving in someone else’s life builds faith in our own. Each testimony shared at Eighteen Twenty is a reminder that we are not alone and that God is working in powerful and personal ways. These stories inspire hope, encourage boldness, and point our hearts back to His faithfulness.

Local Church Plug-In
We believe being part of a local church is essential for lasting spiritual growth. We help girls find a home church in Knoxville by connecting them with others who already attend, encouraging them to get involved and serve in the body of Christ.

“Eighteen Twenty has helped me to remain focused on developing my faith. Life moves pretty fast in college, especially freshman year, but Eighteen Twenty has always been a way for me to keep my eyes set on what’s most important: a relationship with the Lord. Seeing these girls each week and praying together is so important to me and it fills me with such joy! I’m so happy to be a part of this group, it’s showed me that the college experience is truly about something much greater!””

"Coming into college, I longed for a group of girls that encouraged me to grow in my faith, and I am beyond grateful to have found that and more in Eighteen Twenty. This group has given me the sense of belonging I needed to thrive and the confidence to walk through college with a firm foundation in the Lord. God has such incredible plans for each of us, and I am so thankful for a community that inspires me to follow His way faithfully and fearlessly. It has deepened my understanding of who He is and allowed me to build meaningful relationships with my sisters in Christ, which is such a beautiful gift. I am truly so grateful for this group and all that it has done in my life. God’s presence is so evident in it all, and I can’t wait to see how He continues to provide and move."

“1820 has shaped my college experience in countless ways. It has given me such a sweet community and has completely strengthened my prayer life coming into college. Witnessing how God has multiplied 1820 has completely strengthened my faith. The first one I went to had around 10 people and the last one I went to had too many people to fit in the library. It has truly encouraged my faith knowing what God can do when we are obedient to Him. Praying over people and being prayed over at 1820 has been a gift to me coming into college.”

"1820 has been such a light in my life. When I was a freshman, I had a hard time finding real Christ-centered friendships, but everything shifted when I started going to 1820. God brought people into my life who have prayed for me, encouraged me, and stood by me through some of my hardest moments. They remind me who I am in Christ and point me back to Him when I start to lose sight of it. I’m so thankful for this community that feels like family because it has changed how I see friendship, prayer, and the love of God."
