In the 1980s, the congregation got smaller and fewer people were attending meetings so it came to the time for the Church to close its doors in 1990.

[2] At this time the Wick Baptist Church which was located in Union Street was looking for new premises and they bought the site in 1997.

By 1998 the congregation of the Baptist Church had moved into a newly refurbished building ready for worship.

The pews were removed and replaced with modern chairs, the wooden flooring was covered with carpet, the large sanctuary was cut down in size to suit the new congregation and the balcony was replaced by a new floor suitable for storage and rooms for the large Sunday school.

A new kitchen was added as well as bathrooms, an office and a side room suitable for small groups.
