The First United Methodist Church is a historic church east of the junction of 2nd Street and 5th Avenue in Lockesburg, Arkansas. It is a T-shaped structure, with a single-story nave and an asymmetrical 2+1⁄2-story cross section at the rear of the building. It is framed in wood and clad in brick. Built in 1926, it is the fourth church building to serve a congregation formally established in 1872, and is a particularly well-preserved example of a Gothic Revival structure with Classical and Medieval Revival elements. This distinctive combination of elements is rare in Arkansas church architecture. ^[2]

The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994. ^[1]
