The congregation was founded in 1708. The first church was built in 1708–1712 and expanded in 1770. The church was used as a hospital by the British during the American Revolutionary War, and later was heavily damaged by fire in 1867 and 1872. The church was rebuilt about 1872 in a Gothic style of fieldstone with stop-ended chamfered red brick trim. The attached Burch Hall was erected in 1924 in a matching style.[2][3][4]

It was designated a New York City landmark in 1967 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.[1] The 1818 rectory is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Moore-McMillen House.
