Adult Ministry

At Seventh & James, adults will find opportunities to grow spiritually, participate in thought-provoking discussions, and join with others as we grow in faith. We also long to see people connecting with one another in deep friendships that last years. C.S. Lewis once keenly observed this about the origins of friendships: “Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: ‘What! You too? I thought I was the only one.’”

Adult Sunday School Classes

Our Adult Sunday School classes are intergenerational and are open to all. Classes begin at 9:45 AM. We invite and encourage you to visit several classes and then choose one that you find interesting, affirming, and challenging!

The Bible Class - Rosalie Beck
This intergenerational, Scripture-focused class is led by Rosalie Beck. 

Church People in Chairs Talking Life - Emily and Kent McKeever
This class will offer conversations about the big issues of our faith and how they show up in our daily lives.

Lectio Divina - Blake Burleson and Jim Kennedy
Lectio Divina is a contemplative approach to biblical study facilitated by Blake Burleson and Jim Kennedy. This intergenerational class practices prayer, meditation, chanting, and imaginative exercises which amplify sacred scripture. Blake teaches world religions, and Jim recently retired from teaching Old Testament at Baylor University.

The Roundtable Class
This conversation-oriented class chooses a book of the Bible to read and discuss in-depth, alternating between the Old and New Testaments. All participants are encouraged to bring their own interests and expertise to the table to help the class gain exciting new insights into the texts.

The Sojourners Class - Derek Dodson
This intergenerational class is conversation-oriented and follows the Lectionary.
