The Boyce Methodist Church is locally significant under Criterion C: Design in the area of architecture. The church has a combination of Queen Anne Revival and Gothic Revival styling that is significant within rural Rapides Parish. It is also one of the three most architecturally significant landmarks left in the parish's small community of Boyce. It especially illustrates the adaptation of Queen Anne and Gothic Revival style religious architecture to the simpler needs and resources of a small rural congregation . The period of significance for both architectural cases is 1899, the year of the church's construction.
