The First United Methodist Church is a historic church building at E. 4th and Spring Sts. 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]
