📄 About

Kenjamin Beach makes Afrobeat music about the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith. Vol.3 covers chapters 21–32. That's Christian Liberty through to the Last Judgement.

The name is a nod to Benjamin Keach — the Reformed Baptist minister who was publicly pilloried for writing a children's catechism, and who later introduced congregational hymn-singing to English Baptist churches. He was right on both counts.

⚠ On the Genre

The genre of this music is A.I. Slop. I wrote the lyrics myself but A.I. did the heavy lifting. Please enjoy these songs as entertainment and DO NOT USE AS WORSHIP MUSIC!

Benjamin Keach (1640–1704)

If you're a Reformed Baptist who sings hymns in church, uses a catechism, or holds to the 1689 Confession — you owe something to Benjamin Keach. Almost nobody knows his name. That's a problem.

The great end of all God’s dealings with his people is to bring them to Himself, to communion with Himself, and to glorify Himself in them. — Benjamin Keach, c.1690

📅 Timeline

29 Feb 1640

Born in Stoke Hammond, Bucks

Parents poor. Keach worked as a tailor. Baptised at 15 by John Russell at Chesham — an Arminian Baptist church. He'd later become a Calvinist.

1659

Starts preaching at 18

Minister at Winslow. The Stuart Restoration follows the next year and penal laws against nonconformity begin.

1664

Arrested and pilloried for a children's catechism

His book The Child's Instructor was deemed schismatical. Tried before Sir Robert Hyde at Aylesbury. Two weeks' imprisonment, a twenty-pound fine, pilloried for several hours on two separate days in Aylesbury and Winslow. His book was burned beside him. He preached from the pillory. Nobody threw anything at him.

1668

Horsleydown, Southwark — 36 years as pastor

Moves to London. Develops his Calvinist soteriology here. Imprisoned again multiple times for preaching without a licence. Keeps preaching. This congregation eventually became Spurgeon's Metropolitan Tabernacle.

1673

Part of his congregation leaves over hymn singing

They form the Maze Pond Church at Old Kent Road. Keach thinks Scripture supports congregational hymn-singing. They disagree. He is right.

1677–1689

The Second London Baptist Confession

Keach is one of the seven men who sent out the invitation to the 1689 General Assembly. Attends as representative of Horsleydown. The Confession is adopted. His church also enters a “Solemn Covenant” putting its doctrines into congregational practice.

1691

Introduces hymn singing to English Baptist churches

Publishes Spiritual Melody — over 300 hymns. Horsleydown was probably the first English church to sing hymns rather than psalms alone. Provokes heated debate at the 1692 Assembly of Particular Baptists. Practice spreads anyway. If you sing hymns in church, you're partly living in his legacy.

1693

The Baptist Catechism

Westminster Shorter Catechism adapted for Baptist use. Likely co-authored with William Collins. Still in print. Still in use worldwide.

18 Jul 1704

Dies in Southwark, aged 64

Forty-three published works. Thirty-six years at one church. Multiple imprisonments. Buried in a Baptist burial ground in Southwark. His second wife Susanna lived until 1727. He is almost entirely forgotten in popular Christian culture.

❔ Why Is He Overlooked?

Reformed history spotlights the Reformers — Calvin, Luther, Zwingli — or the Puritans — Owen, Perkins, Watson. Among Baptists, Spurgeon takes up all the room. Keach falls into a gap: too Baptist for Presbyterians, too Calvinist for modern evangelical Baptists, chronologically between eras.

But the 1689 Confession is the doctrinal charter of confessional Reformed Baptists worldwide. The Baptist Catechism is used in households and churches every week. Congregational hymn-singing in Baptist worship goes through him.

Kenjamin Beach is partly a corrective. Know your history. Know Keach.

Why Doctrine Matters

Everyone has doctrine. It's just the word for what you actually believe about God, the world, and what happens when you die. The question isn't whether yours is fancy — it's whether it's true, and whether it holds up when things get hard.

Reformed theology doesn't promise you a better life. It tells you the truth about what you are, what God is, and what Christ has done. That turns out to be more useful than the alternative.

T.U.L.I.P.

The five points of Calvinist soteriology. What Scripture teaches about how God saves sinners.

TTotal Depravity

Sin affects every part of us. We don't choose God on our own.

UUnconditional Election

God chose who He'd save before the foundation of the world.

LLimited Atonement

Christ died to actually save His people, not merely make it possible.

IIrresistible Grace

Those God calls, He regenerates. His grace doesn't fail.

PPerseverance of Saints

Those genuinely saved are kept by God to the end.

📌 The Five Solas

Sola Scriptura	Scripture Alone	The Bible has final authority on what it addresses.
Sola Fide	Faith Alone	Justification is by faith alone, not works.
Sola Gratia	Grace Alone	Salvation is entirely by God's grace, not merit.
Solus Christus	Christ Alone	Christ is the only mediator between God and man.
Soli Deo Gloria	To God Alone Be Glory	All glory belongs to God alone.

Six Reasons

1. Scripture is enough

The Bible doesn't need supplementing with tradition, trends, or your favourite podcast. That's a more radical claim than it sounds.

2. Confessions are anchors

The 1689 isn't Scripture — but it summarises Scripture. A confession means your church isn't reinventing theology every generation. Centuries of tested wisdom. Keach was pilloried for it.

3. Church isn't optional

Christianity wasn't designed as a solo project. Chapter 26 of the 1689 on the Church is about covenant community, the sacraments, and accountability. Ask your pastor about local church membership.

4. Death is real and so is judgement

Chapters 31 and 32 — the last two tracks on this album — don't flinch. If the resurrection is true and judgement is coming, it changes how you live right now.

5. Worship should be regulated

The Regulative Principle (Chapter 22, Track 2) says you worship how God prescribes, not however you invent. That's not a restriction — it's a protection against entertainment passing itself off as church.

6. Grace is more extreme than you've been told

Unconditional election and irresistible grace mean your salvation rests entirely on God, not you. That's not discouraging — it's the only version that actually holds.

Start with The Baptist Catechism (Q1 first). Find a local confessional church and go. Read the 1689 Confession straight through — it's shorter than you think.
