The first church to be erected to serve the growing northern suburb of Woodside was a small chapel opened by the Congregationalist denomination in 1819. This, however, did nothing to help the majority of the area's population who were Presbyterian.
Following a lengthy campaign a large, new Church, designed by Archibald Simpson, was opened as a Chapel of Ease, belonging to the parish of Oldmachar, in May 1830.
