Union Baptist Church is a historic church at 109 Court Street in New Bedford, Massachusetts, USA. It was built in 1899 to a design by Nathaniel Cannon Smith in Shingle Style architecture. The congregation was founded in 1895 by a merger of two African American congregations that had split some four decades earlier. This historical church group was a leading New Bedford institution associated with the assistance of fugitive slaves in the pre-Civil War period.[2]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.[1]
