The 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]
