GRAND RAPIDS, MI – Down a few flights of stairs in Fountain Street Church’s basement, the archives is a small room with several rows of overflowing bookshelves and filing cabinets.
A departure from the large, colorful stained-glass windows and polished wood of the church’s main meeting room, the archives hold at least as much history as upstairs, with original sermons, drawings and meeting notes dating back to the early 1900s.
