The Garvin Rock Church is a historic church at Love and Williams Streets in Garvin, Oklahoma. Also known as Old Rock Church, it was built in 1910 and added to the National Register in 1980.[1]

It was an impressive church for its small town, when completed in 1910. It is about 44 by 64 feet (13 m × 20 m) in plan, with three crenelated towers, the tallest of which stands 25 feet (7.6 m) tall. It has two sets of stained glass windows.[2]

In 2001, the church was in disrepair and deemed too expensive to repair.[3]
