The First Methodist Church, formerly known as First United Methodist Church, is a historic church building in Fordyce, Arkansas. The two story brick building was designed by John Parks Almand and built in 1925. The Arts and Crafts style building presents a long facade to East 4th Street, with its main entry separating the sanctuary to the right and a wing of offices and Sunday School classrooms to the left. It was the second church for a congregation established c. 1883; the first was destroyed by fire in 1922.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1] In 2022, the congregation disaffiliated from the United Methodist Church and joined the Global Methodist Church.[3]
