Fourth House of Worship moved aside for the New Fifth House of Worship Construction in 1890-1891. Location at Main and Salem Streets remains the same.
On May 16, 1890, the cornerstone of the Fifth House of Worship was laid, witnessed by 800 people present. The hollowed-out stone contained artifacts pertinent to the times, including copies of City, State and National documents as well as those of the Baptist faith.
On November 24, 1891 the New Fifth House of Worship was dedicated. In a deeply committed response to the appeal of the building committee, $ 96,000 had been raised, a sum which was generously matched by the pledge Elisha Converse had made at the outset of the fund drive. The faithful had again ensured a mortgage-free church on the day of the dedication. Not long after, a new parsonage was erected on the rear of the lot where the old meeting house had been temporarily moved.
