My daughter and I attended a Laugh Fest event here. The seats were comfortable, but it was really cold in the building through the entire show. I do realize that it’s March, however, some heat was truly needed. I could hear people all around us complaining about how cold it was. Also, be prepared to wait a LONG time to use the restroom before and after the show.

This was such a cool venue to have Kip Moore play at. The ambiance and acoustics were otherwordly. It helped that Kip Moore always puts on a great show. But you can see the stage no matter where you are sitting. The overall experience was incredible.

They help the homeless and anyone in our community. True Christians in a church that is a work of art. They like to sing the Russian national anthem during Putins birthday take that however you want. Sadly I believe that elements of this church are subversive to our community fabric and national character.

TLDR; First time, was great! Enjoyable way to worship, plan on going back!I usually dont write reviews, let alone long ones, but here it goes. My first time at Fountain Street was today, on Easter, at their 930am chapel service. It was a very welcoming and approachable place that is more spiritually focused than on rules of a church or anything. They call themselves Rebels and I love it! We sang Pat Benatar Hit me with your Best Shot and talked about how it can be related to this day. There was a guided meditation part that was really nice. The person that was leading did an excellent job of mixing humor and a good message (different people volunteer to lead each time). The band was great, especially love the lead singer who introduced themselves to my friend and I afterwards.I would recommend this place to: someone that has been hurt by the church but still believes, someone that wants to believe again, someone that likes the spirtual message more than anything, someone that doesnt want to be judged, someone that wants a more fun and enjoyable environment while they worship, and finally for someone that wants to try a place different from the norm and out of the box.I loved it and plan on going back!

I love this church! This is an amazing community within a conservative stronghold of a city. Compassionate, thoughtful and open to new experiences, Fountain Street Church is certainly what it says it is -- a house of prayer for all people. My kids love it there for Character School, I love it for the people, the programs and the sermons. Cant wait to see what this church will do over the next 10 years.

I grew up in Fountain Street. Sadly, I now see them as a type of we welcome everyone, wait, but not you, or you, or your beliefs . The worst kind of hypocrisy. Sad, because its a beautiful building.

My spiritual home! We care about deeds, not creeds, and we work together to help make the world a better place.Also: best church coffee in GR, and wonderful acoustics in our lovely sanctuary.We celebrate holidays including Ramadan, Dwali, and Passover along with our greater community. And we do outreach to various groups who need assistance/uplifting.Read more on our website, Facebook, YouTube...and come visit!

If the rural conservative people from outside of GR are telling you this Church is not Biblical enough what they really mean is that it doesnt condemn gays and tell women to be subordinate to men. Im curious if they mix linen with cotton or eat shellfish? They selectively pull all the wrong parts from the Bible. Did you ever wonder why you dont see evangelical Christians like them advocating for social justice Jesus clearly speaks about? Jesus didnt talk about gays or women being subordinate to men, but he did talk about the poor, and justice for the weak and poor. You will know them by their fruits- they are pharisees Jesus hated so very very much.

Where is the Gospel? This church denies the exclusivity of the gospel, and preaches a distorted message that cannot save.
