Since 1928 when Senior Minister Alfred Wesley Wishart debated Clarence Darrow - "Is There a General Purpose in the Universe?" - Fountain Street Church has brought enlightened thinkers and enterprising musicians to Grand Rapids, fulfilling its civic and religious duty to serve and lead the greater West Michigan community - such notables as Winston Churchhill, Linus Pauling, Eleanore Roosevelt and Robert Frost are among the over 100 speakers who have challenged the mind and stirred the conscience from this Free Pulpit. In addition, a great number of gifted performers from Dave Brubeck to Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington to Arlo Guthrie - have thrilled the heart and soothed the soul from this great chancel.
