Sligo Village Methodist Church (later renamed Woodside United Methodist Church before merging with a United Methodist congregation to form Silver Spring United Methodist Church in 2014) was built on a plot of land donated in 1872 by a local farmer.

The church was placed on rollers and pulled by a team of horses to the corner of Spring Street and Georgia Avenue. Following the sale of that property in 1963, the congregation built its present location on the last large, undeveloped parcel in Woodside in 1964. [3]
