The Powhatan Methodist Church is a historic church on Arkansas Highway 25 in Powhatan, Arkansas. It is a single-story wood-frame structure with a gable roof and a stone foundation. The main (only) entrance is in the east facade, and consists of a double door topped by a transom window. Flanking bays are filled with sash windows, identical to those found on the other facades. The interior has retained a number of original furnishings, including its pews and a pump organ. The church was built in 1872, probably replacing an earlier log structure used by its congregation, which was founded in 1854.[2]

The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.[1]
