The Warren United Methodist Church and Parsonage are a Methodist church and house at 27 Church Street in the center of Warren, Rhode Island. The church was started in 1789 under the Rev. Daniel Smith and was the first Methodist congregation in Rhode Island. The building is a Greek Revival structure with a full temple front built in 1844 by Fall River, Massachusetts architect Perez Mason.[2] The parsonage is a two-story Italianate structure built by the congregation in 1858. It was designed by the Warren firm of Hoar & Drown and built by the related firm of Hoar & Martin.[3]

The two buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.[1]
