The First United Methodist Church is a historic church building at Jefferson and Cross Streets in DeWitt, Arkansas. It is a two-story red brick structure, designed Thompson & Harding and built in 1923. It has a Classical Revival style portico supported by six unevenly spaced Tuscan columns. The triangular pediment is fully enclosed, with a central oculus window. The building is the third built for a congregation established in 1854–55, and the first built of brick.[2]
