Eventually Lithuanians joined the congregations as well. The congregations were influenced by Baptist theology but deliberately chose to not formally identify with the Baptist name. In 1991 the Lithuania Christian Fund College (now called Lithuania LCC International University in Klaipeda) was established by Art DeFehr of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Otonas Balčiūnas of Lithuania, and Johannes Reimer of Germany. The presence of this Christian liberal arts university in the country had a positive influence on the small Lithuanian group of Baptist-minded believers. The congregations received spiritual development training and suport from Mennonite families at the college as well as through [[Mennonite Brethren Missions/Services International (Mennonite Brethren Church)|MB Mission]], [[Eastern Mennonite Missions (Lancaster Mennonite Conference)|Eastern Mennonite Missions]], Mennonite churches in Germany, and many individuals from Canada and the United States. The congregations joined together to form the Laisvųjų krikščionių bažnyčia (Free Christian Church) in 2003.
