The Orange Street Presbyterian Church, today the First Church of Christ Scientist, is a historic church building at 428 Orange Street in Hot Springs, Arkansas. It is a single-story brick structure, with a gable roof and concrete foundation. The front facade has a four-column Greek temple portico, with Ionic columns and a fully pedimented gable with an oculus vent at its center. The church was built in 1913 by a Presbyterian congregation founded in 1903. It was the congregation's third church, the first two succumbing to fire, and indebting the organization. It occupied the building until 1961, when it moved to new quarters, selling this building to the local Christian Science congregation. The building is one of Hot Springs' best examples of Classical Revival architecture.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.[1]
