Methodist Church

First United Methodist Church has served Pine Bluff since 1830, when it was organized out of informal Methodist Societies maintained by pioneer families.

The church was first located at Pullen and Alabama; then at Fourth and Main in 1857.  This building was damaged by gunfire during the Civil War Battle of Pine Bluff.  The third church building was built at Sixth and Main in 1887.  The fourth move came in 1920 to this site.  The church has sponsored a number of missions in the area during the past century, contributing much to the expansion of Methodism.
