318 Collective is an open, ongoing collaborative soundtrack of creatives, individuals, and families who share a passion for authentic community, good music, and belonging.

In a world filled with diversity, where individualism often prevails, the desire for genuine connection and belonging has never been more important. 318 Collective, a new faith community, recognizes the need for a space where creatives, thought leaders, musicians, and entrepreneurs can come together and truly belong. This dynamic collective stands as a testament to the idea that relationship trumps religion and that "home" is not just a place but a deeper knowing of safety, protection, connection- knowing and being known.

Our Journey

318 Collective takes its name from a significant Bible verse: Proverbs 31:8, which states, "Be a voice for the voiceless" This verse encapsulates the heart and soul of this faith community, emphasizing the importance of genuine, action-based love.

Founded by my wife and I, who saw a need for a different kind of faith community, 318 Collective offers a relational and inclusive approach to spirituality. It seeks to transcend the boundaries of traditional religious dogma, focusing instead on fostering authentic connection and making everyone feel at home.

At the core of 318 Collective's philosophy is the belief that relationship trumps religion. While religion often comes with rigid doctrines, rituals, and traditions, 318 Collective promotes a faith-based community that values human connections above all. This mindset reflects a commitment to living out the teachings of Jesus through love, compassion, and meaningful relationships.

-Chauncy Horton, Founder of 318 Collective

Beginning in Shreveport, Louisiana, 318 Collective started with concerts and dinner nights. In 2020, we moved to Nashville. Adding to our creative gatherings, in 2021 we offered our first songwriting camp, where we wrote and recorded 5 songs in 3 days. This same creative energy fueled our next chapter in 318. In 2022, we began to share artist nights and collective dinners with more of the greater community in Nashville. At the end of 2022, we hosted our second annual Song Creation Intensive, writing and recording 6 songs in 3 days. Read more about our debut EP, Home.
