The Hailey Methodist Episcopal Church, also known as Hailey Community Baptist Church, in Hailey, Idaho, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.

It is a wood-frame vernacular Gothic Revival church that is 28.5feetx50.25feetft (xft) in plan. It has an entrance through its 8feetx11feetft (xft)-plan belfry tower inset into the building's gable front. Front extension of the roof is supported by purlins. An open-sided bell tower, holding a metal bell and four all-weather speakers, tops the tower.[2]

It was built in 1886 and survived numerous fires in Hailey, probably due to relatively wide separation from its neighbors.[3]
