Fourth Presbyterian Church is a Presbyterian congregation and church complex in Bethesda, Maryland, in the suburbs of Washington, D.C., United States. Founded in 1828 in Washington, D.C., Fourth became a large and prominent congregation with several nationally famous ministers and members and planted numerous additional Presbyterian churches in Washington and surrounding areas. It was located in downtown Washington until 1899, when it relocated to the Columbia Heights neighborhood. From its Columbia Heights building, it broadcast sermons over the radio. Declining membership led Fourth to relocate to the Maryland suburbs in 1958. During the 20th century, it became known as a prominent evangelical congregation within the mainline Presbyterian Church, and in 1986 it departed for the Evangelical Presbyterian Church denomination. Fourth's ministries included a private elementary and middle school near its Bethesda campus.

River Road, historically also known as Graysville (and derisively by white supremacists as Crow Hill), is an historic African-American community established by freedpeople and their descendants along River Road in Bethesda, Montgomery County, Maryland, United States, following the American Civil War. Centered in what is now the Westbard area of Bethesda, the community sustained homes, farms, churches, a school, and fraternal institutions for roughly a century before it was displaced by suburban commercial and residential redevelopment in the 1950s and 1960s. Its principal surviving institution is Macedonia Baptist Church at 5119 River Road. Since the 2010s the community has been at the center of a widely reported dispute over the River Road Moses Cemetery (also called Moses African Cemetery or White's Tabernacle No. 39 Cemetery), an African-American burial ground now lying beneath the parking lot of the Westwood Tower apartment complex. In 2024 the Supreme Court of Maryland found that the site "was a historic Black burial place" and that human remains likely remain interred there, while holding that state law did not require court approval before the property's sale.
