Fountain Street Church (FSC) in Grand Rapids, Michigan started out as a Baptist congregation, but it changed its views when liberal Christianity became popular in the late 1800s. Most of the people who influenced this change were graduates of the University of Chicago Divinity School, a pioneer of liberal Christianity.
Established in the largest town in West Michigan in 1869 as Fountain Street Baptist Church, by 1960, FSC ended its Baptist identity altogether to become an independent, non-denominational, and liberal church. In 1959, a book chronicling the story of Fountain Street Church titled Liberal Legacy – A History of Fountain Street Church was published in-house by Philip Buchen, a member of the church and legal advisor to President Gerald Ford.
In the years between 1896 and 2006, Fountain Street Church gradually shed its explicitly Christian identity for a non-creedal identity similar to Unitarian Universalism. Its mission to "Free the Mind, Grow the Soul and Change the World" summarizes the church's approach to religion.
