PRESS RELEASE — Fountain Street Church in downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan, is an independent, pluralist church that strives 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 that spirit, Fountain Street Church has planned a 150 Year Grand Celebration Street Party, to take place on Sunday, September 15, 2019, from 12-4PM. This event is free and open to the public.
