In 1903 the Pentecostal Chapel (Judson Square) was purchased, and later the lot at the comer of Madison and Meridian Streets was purchased for the permanent church site. Between 1901 and 1945, many efforts were made to unite the churches. On November 7, 1945, the joint bodies of Union and Eastern Avenue Baptist Churches merged and named the new church Emmanuel Baptist Church. The dedication service was held on Sunday, March 31, 1946.
