The '''New Light Missionary Baptist Church''' was a historic church at 522 Arkansas Street in [[Helena, Arkansas]].  It was a two-story wood-frame brick and masonry structure, built in 1917 for an African-American congregation organized in 1894.  Its Gothic Revival design bore some resemblance to Helena's [[Centennial Baptist Church]] (a [[National Historic Landmark]]), but this building's architect is not known.  Its main facade had a single tall gable, with a three-story tower at the southwest corner.  A pair of entrances on the first level were topped by three lancet-style windows in the gable, the center one larger than those flanking it.  The interior was simply decorated.<ref name=NRHP>{{cite web|url=https://www.arkansasheritage.com/docs/default-source/national-registry/PH0147-pdf|title=NRHP nomination for New Light Missionary Baptist Church|publisher=Arkansas Preservation|accessdate=2014-11-02}}</ref>
The building was listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]] in 1995.<ref name="nris"/>  It was subsequently demolished, and was delisted in 2018.
