Houston Methodist Episcopal Church, South is a historic church on Arkansas Highway 60, near its junction with Arkansas Highway 216 in Houston, Arkansas. It is a single-story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof, weatherboard siding, and a foundation of brick and concrete. A hip-roof vestibule projects from the front, with a single-stage square tower above, topped by a pyramidal roof. Doors and windows are set in rounded-arch openings. Built in 1912 for a congregation organized in 1893; it was its second building, it having outgrown the first. It is a fine local example of ecclesiastical Colonial Revival architecture.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.[1]
