The New Light Missionary Baptist Church is a historic church at 522 Arkansas Street in Helena, Arkansas. It is a two-story wood-frame brick and masonry structure, built in 1917 for an African-American congregation organized in 1894. Its Gothic Revival design bears some resemblance to Helena's Centennial Baptist Church (a National Historic Landmark), but this building's architect is not known. Its main facade has a single tall gable, with a three-story tower at the southwest corner. A pair of entrances on the first level are topped by three lancet-style windows in the gable, the center one larger than those flanking it. The interior is simply decorated.[2]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.[1]
