First United Methodist Church is a historic Methodist church at the junction of Prince and Clifton Street in Conway, Arkansas. It is a single story brick building with Classical Revival style, set on a raised foundation. The building is basically rectangular in shape, but its main roof is cruciform, with gables on all for sides, and a dome at the center. The front has a fully pedimented six-column Classical portico, with an entablature and dentillated pediment with a small round window at its center. The church was designed by George Kramer of New York City, and built in 1913 for a Methodist congregation founded in 1871.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.[1]
