7|22 was a weekly gathering of post-college single adults in the Atlanta, Georgia metro area (at Buckhead Church) that met every Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. The congregation included singles from around the Atlanta area. 7|22 was closed on July 22, 2008.
[edit] History
7|22 was founded in 1995 by Bill Willits and Louie Giglio.[1] It started as a six-week experiment in the spring of 1995. Due to the success, it was permanently established in the fall of 1995. The study was originally hosted at Dunwoody Baptist Church in Dunwoody, Georgia, and was moved to North Point Community Church in Alpharetta, Georgia, in 1998. Giglio continued on as the primary speaker until 2005, when he left to focus on other projects.[2] Starting in October 2007, the study moved to Buckhead Church in Atlanta, Georgia. 7|22 temporarily met only once a month in the Fall of 2007 during the first months at their new home, Buckhead Church but is now meeting every Tuesday night.
On July 22, 2008, Jarrett Stevens, director of 7|22, announced at the end of the night the closing of 7|22.[3]
