First Methodist Episcopal Church, also known as Kensett United Methodist Church, is a historic church building located in Kensett, Iowa, United States. The church was designed by local architect F.W. Kinney and built by local builders. The frame structure was completed in 1899 in the Gothic Revival style. The interior walls and ceiling are covered with a pressed decorative metal. On top of the gable roof above the main facade is a small belfry. Circular windows are located on both ends of the church. A small polygonal apse is located on the far end, and wings are located on both sides of the structure.
