Fountain Street Church has a long-standing history in Grand Rapids. 149 years of history, to be exact. Since 1869, the multi-faith, non-denominational church has been a pillar of progressive thought, social justice, and free choice in West Michigan. They have hosted influential speakers, politicians, musicians, comedians, authors, activists, artists, and spiritual leaders from around the world in their historic, stained-glass filled sanctuary.
Winston Churchill, Eleanor Roosevelt, Joseph Campbell, Gloria Steinem, Michael Moore, Tiffany Haddish, Amelia Earhart, Anita Hill, Richard Dawkins, and so many others have brought their talents to Fountain Street Church in support of FSC’s mission “to be a vibrant church community that challenges individuals to craft their own spiritual journeys, and to engage in creative and responsible action in the world.”
In addition to great speakers, Fountain Street Church has hosted a slew of iconic musical acts over the years. In anticipation of their 150th Anniversary in 2019, FSC has released a limited edition series of poster reprints from memorable concerts of Fountain Street Church past.
