Motivated by Faith
Founded by Ashley Johnson in the Spring of 2018. Ashley served as the High School Youth Pastor at Valley View Christian Church in Littleton, CO for 10 years. Ashley felt a deep calling for ministry after returning from a summer camp in Sacramento, CA serving as a small group leader. During her time at Valley View, Ashley led weekly youth group meetings, developed and trained leadership teams and worship bands. She also led multiple camps and missions trips to Mexico where the teen ministry at Valley View built a two story ministry building.
While Ashley worked at Valley View, she began doing CrossFit and functional strength training as a hobby. She began to dream about using fitness as an avenue to encourage specialized community groups. This conviction birthed the 1twenty7 Project.
The 1twenty7 Project is based on the verse, James 1:27, "Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world." As faith was put into action, the 1twenty7 Project became an official 501c3 non-profit ministry in July of 2019. We pair scriptural motivation and fitness in a powerful session to build confidence specifically in teen girls, at risk youth and women who have been caught in human trafficking.
