2007 was a year of growth for 7th heaven. This would be the 3rd time the band had to re-build itself in the public eye as a good band to go see and hear. There was so much that needed to be worked on, set's, song's, and products. During this time the band needed to play more and more and Dan Miller desired to play less and less so Dan and Mike switched off on who would play drums each night. Nick Cox would only play in the Unplugged version of the band. Tammy would play in both the unplugged and full band versions and Richie and Mark were always there.

This was a year that helped shape the sound of the band and what people wanted out of the band. After many shows it was easy to see where the band's strength were and where the band should be.

Keith put his lead vocals on the band's Pop Medley, which was done in the studio but just needed the vocals on it to be finished. While at it Keith did the Rock Medley as well.

Taking Video Footage all summer long, it would be featured in the Pop Medley and Rock Medley videos.

7th heaven started a new tradition of doing a annual BBQ where friends, family and fans can come meet and hang out with the band in a environment away from the stage.

The 7th heaven cruise was back in full swing again in 2007. Another huge group of friends, family and fans joined the band onboard the Royal Caribbean's Liberty of The Seas. Performing live poolside and unplugged in the olive or twist, the band took over the ship with all the craziness that the band is known for. This was a huge success as the highest ranking cruise director Ken Rush loved the band and suggested the band get's hired by Royal Caribbean.
