The First Presbyterian Church is a historic Presbyterian church at 2nd and Hempstead Streets in Nashville, Arkansas. The building is now home to the E. A.

The building is a single-story wood-frame structure, constructed in 1912 by builder Elijah Alexander Williams. It is roughly L-shaped, and exhibits a combination of Queen Anne and Stick styling that is rare in southwestern Arkansas.[3]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.[1]
