Cheltenham United Methodist Church was founded in 1873 at Westwood Farm, home of Julius H. Pyles. Its cornerstone was laid on October 30, 1879, and the church was constructed by the congregation. Baltimore City philanthropist Enoch Pratt attended the dedication. The pulpit was handmade from a cherry tree taken from the property. Early ministers traveled from Bladensburg on horseback. The Sunday School building was added in 1945.
