Uses London Baptist Confession 1689 as theological guide
Strong

Assessment
LifeSpring Reformed Baptist Church in Crosby MN (Pastor Eric Anderson) uses the London Baptist Confession of 1689 as their theological guide. Notable: 'Common Slaves' appears to be a dedicated men's ministry/blog within the church — explicit male discipleship infrastructure. Strong fit for men in north-central Minnesota seeking confessional Reformed Baptist worship with intentional men's formation.
