According to UniteUS, hundreds of students made the life-changing decision to dedicate their lives to Him. They said over 120 University of Tennessee students made their decision with water baptism right outside the arena.

UniteUS is a movement that began on Sept. 12, 2023. Thousands of college students gathered at Auburn University's Neville Area with one focus - to lift the name of Jesus. From there, it has continued to grow into a movement reaching college campuses across the nation.
Their mission can be summed up in three words: salvation, freedom and community.
"God is doing something special at college campuses across the country, and we believe there is even more to come," they said.
UniteUS has previously gathered students at the University of Georgia.
