Claybank Log Church, Methodist log church in Ozark, Alabama.

Claybank Log Church is a simple wooden structure built from carefully stacked logs in Ozark, Alabama. The interior is a single room constructed entirely from local pine logs joined together with hand-crafted corners.

The present log church is the second on this site, replacing a similar structure built in 1829. A Methodist minister constructed it, and it is believed to be the oldest extant building in Dale County. In 1873 the congregation moved to a new church closer to the center of Ozark, and the log building was used only sporadically after 1900. The Claybank Memorial Association purchased it in the 1960s and restored the interior to its original appearance in 1980.

The building was put up by a Methodist minister and served for worship and community functions, not worship alone. In 1873 the congregation moved to a new church nearer the centre of Ozark, and the log building was used only sporadically after 1900. The Claybank Memorial Association bought it in the 1960s and restored the interior to its original appearance in 1980.

The church stands in Ozark, in Dale County, Alabama, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 7, 1976.
