As the parish grew, it was soon evident that a larger church was needed. Its cornerstone was laid in 1840, and was built of wood in the Carpenter Gothic style. It was a frame church that measured 77 by 55 feet. At the same time, a rectory was built adjacent to the church and is still standing, the exterior of which has recently been renovated. This fourth church, with a tower and 150-foot steeple, survived until 1927, when it was torn down.
