I've called this church home for about 4 years, and I'm so grateful. It's a big church, but they…read morehave so many ways to get involved to make it feel small and join genuine community. As someone looking to get to know the Bible better and truly deepen my relationship with God, this church has done that. My respect, understanding, and love of the Bible has tangibly grown here. I could write for ages how this church has impacted me and my life in a short time. Praise God for what He's doing here!

I absolutely adore Fountain Street Church. The interim pastor, Nathan Dannison, has restored this…read morehistoric church back to its former glory. Nathan has since been voted in as permanent pastor, and while I don't necessarily agree with all of his theology (particularly his claim that Jesus was 'obviously' gay), I do love his events and open mindedness to debate. The space just feels holy and has hosted many wonderful musical renditions for Christmas and Good Friday. Last year, FSC hosted comedian, Taylor Tomlinson's Netflix: Prodgical Daughter Tour. Check it out if you're curious. She is hilarious. They also have a robust children's program and accept everyone as they are. The sermons are interesting. Many focus on women and he draws from many other sources like Greek and Roman mythology. He's really knowledgeable. One thing that I think lives out The Gospel is how they open up the church to the homeless in a low key no pressure way. They are offered warm drinks and can mill about the refreshment area while the sermon plays on the wall for them to come and go as they please. I find that to be quite loving and meeting them exactly where they're at. It meets needs and gives them an opportunity to listen to a loving message if they want (or not). I do wish he spent more time on Jesus as He is the reason for my faith, personally. However, I realize that this community is for everyone: christians, atheists, agnostics, etc. It's an open place meant for community and healing. I can respect that. Check out Fountain Street Church for an event or Sunday Service. There really is something for everyone. Many political protests are also organized through Fountain Street, plus they always have compelling Artprize Entries. Recently, I had a friend complete a non judgmental listening class where she can just listen to people and be a witness to help people process their trauma. I think Fountain Street is a colorful, varied, come as you are kind of place, and I'm thankful it exists.

*This review is for Fountain St., Church as a venue*…read moreRecently, I had the pleasure of seeing Dimitri Martin who was performing at Fountain St., Church as part of laugh fest. I had purchased assigned seating, and we were located in the front right hand section of the audience. Our seats were good, although it should be noted that the balcony does cover part of the seated section here, and depending on the event could be an obstruction at times. Fortunately, it did not interfere with our event. Fountain Street church is a magnificent building. I appreciate it. Beautiful architecture and rich history. Parking can be a bit challenging, but there are plenty of parking garages within walking distance, if you are unable to find street parking.

Because it's a smaller congregation it's easy to get to know everyone. One of my favorite things is the amazing female pastor, Sarah. I didn't realize how healing this environment was by simply having a female pastor... it acts as a natural pesticide to weed out all the toxic masculinity! I love that the sermons focus on the Love of Christ, and how we are challenged to love ourselves, our neighbors, and our enemies. I also love that the church acts as a community. They donate their lawn to AYSO soccer every Saturday, and in return don't need to worry about lawn maintenance during those months. They really try to serve the community with what they have and practice loving others. This Saturday from 9-1pm is a vintage jewelry sale. Several members have collected donations, cleaned, repaired and plan to sell and have all proceeds donated to The Kid's Food Basket. They even found an amazing Penca pendant that they chose to donate to the African American Museum as an important historical item. Come by to check out the sale this Saturday, or stop in 10am on Sunday for a service. There is always coffee and some snacks following the service to encourage conversation. I'm happy to have finally found my niche.

So glad we found Uptown Church, it truly is a place all are welcome. Here you feel loved &…read moresupported.
