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.’”
