I own a stained glass studio called Arkansas Glassworks, so my interest in the state's churches springs from my work. In my meetings with the folks who attend and care for these buildings, I always come away with a feeling that a church is more than it appears. A church is a shell whose spirit resides within.
If you know of or have pictures of any interesting Arkansas churches, please e-mail me.

Nice pics. Too bad they have to put the stained glass up high so it won't get broken by vandals.
I doubt that's the case here. The windows were most likely original to an earlier First Methodist in Beebe. (They look to be early 20th Century.) When the new church was built, the congregation probably decided to incorporate some of the old stained glass into the new church, especially in light of the fact that these were windows paid for by family members in order to memorialize parents and grandparents. Those blues and greens most likely didn't go with their modern color scheme, so installing them in the church proper was ruled out. The steeple's a long way off, but, hey - it's closer to heaven, right?
