The Old Bethel Methodist Church is a historic church in rural Greene County, Arkansas. It is located on County Road 358, between Paragould and Walnut Ridge. It is a modest single-story wood frame structure, built in 1901, and standing next to a cemetery established in 1886. It served the small community of Finch as not just a church, but also as a school, and was vacated in 1941. It was restored in the 1970s by a group of local concerned citizens, and is occasionally used for services.[2]
The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.[1]
