First United Methodist Church is a historic United Methodist church at 7 Elm Street at Bleecker Square in Gloversville, Fulton County, New York. It was completed in 1870 and the main block / sanctuary is a two-story red brick structure set on a cut stone foundation. It is flanked by a staged entrance / bell tower and two-story office wing. An addition was completed in 1909 and is a two-story, polygonal brick structure containing a chapel, Sunday School room and parish hall.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.[1]

In 2000 the First United Methodist Church sold this building to another church organization, which never managed to make use of the building, so it has been sitting vacant since 2000.
