The Arkansas Southern Railroad gave two lots (# 13 and 14 of block 14) to the Methodist Episcopal Church South on which to build a church.  The first church was built by J. R. “Bob” Cook.  The first church record was on February 20, 1906.  The first pastor was Rev. W.T. Woodward.  In 1913, the congregation built a new church building on lot 14.  The pastor at that time was Rev. J.B. Gregory.   
            By the mid-20^th century, plans for a new church were underway.  Under the leadership of Rev. A.M. Wynn, a new church was built facing Highway 2, on block 1 of the Heard Addition.  The first service in the new church was held on Easter Sunday, March 18, 1951.  
            The sanctuary was remodeled in 1992-93, under the leadership of Rev. Carolyn Volentine.  On a Sunday night (September 5, 1999), lightning struck the church and in just a few hours it had burned down.  Led by Rev. William P. Minyard, the congregation started making plans to rebuild.  
            Cortez Laurence and Margeann Warden donated the use of one of their vacant store buildings for worship space during rebuilding.  The church was completed and the first service held on October 7, 2001.  The dedication service was held on April 25, 2004 under the leadership of Rev. Johnie Adkins, with Rev. Minyard delivering the message.
