United Baptist Church of Lakeport (also known as Lake Village Free Baptist Church or Park Street Baptist Church) is a historic church at 23 Park Street in the village of Lakeport in Laconia, New Hampshire, United States. It was built in 1891 by the Lake Village Free Will Baptist congregation.[2] It is Victorian Romanesque in design, and the interior sanctuary is Federal in design. It seats 400 and includes the fellowship and Sunday School classes on the first floor.

The church congregation was founded in 1774 on Parade Road as Laconia's First Church. It has changed many times during the years. The United Baptist Church is a 1934 merger of the Union Avenue Baptist Church that was Calvinist (Predestination) and the Park Street Baptist Church that was Free Will in theology. The Union Avenue Baptist Church was torn down, and the Park Street Church became home to the present congregation. A separate parish house (offices) is next door on Park Street. It was painted white, but several years ago it was repainted in the original 1800s colors. It is affiliated with the American Baptist Churches of Vermont/New Hampshire and the American Baptist Churches USA (originally the Northern Baptist Convention).

The church building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1]
