The church was built for a Methodist congregation, who worshipped in the church until the 1970s. The church has since undergone a massive restoration, and was been gifted to the city of Searcy. It's now a popular spot for weddings.

Smyrna Church
Just outside of Searcy is the Smyrna Church - a quaint old wooden church that is actually the oldest church in Arkansas. The church was built in 1856, and is one of only five churches in the state that were built before the Civil War. The church is so old, that it's believed the lumber to build it came from trees that first started growing in the 1600s.
