Puritan Board Freshman
Just wondering if anybody has some words of advice for future plans. I'm finishing my last semester of undergraduate at St. Cloud State University in Saint Cloud, MN. The church I'm a part of here is the same church I've been a member at for almost 3 years now. It can best be described as the elders being broadly 'reformed' and baptistic. If I were to stay in St. Cloud I could possibly teach at the Classical Academy that the church has been running for a couple years now. This is where the question comes in. Over the past year and a half, my theology has become much more refined from a Piper influenced calvinistic theology to a personal full subscription to the 1689 London Baptist Confession (through personal reading). My assumption of the church is that it would fit within a Progressive Covenantal stream and its conclusions on the Sabbath, Worship, and the like reflect that. Not holding to a Lord's Day Sabbath, the regulative principle, covenant theology, moral law, etc. are just topics that aren't addressed and that is saddening for me. However I did become a Christian through this church, have some solid friends, the church is baptistic/calvinist, and they seek to live in light of the gospel of Christ in daily life. In light of this at the moment I'm split as to what to do after college. There are no confessional churches in St. Cloud so the thought of moving to either Fargo, ND or the Twin Cities where there are confessional churches has had varying degrees of draw to me for after school.
Words of advice for my situation would be beneficial for thinking through this would be helpful. Thanky you!
