Under the pastoral care of the Rev. Walter Edmund Bentley, a small congregation began worshipping in a church on the very site in the year1880. The Rev. Bentley was succeeded by the Rev. John G. Smiley, who in 1928, a few months before his retirement was named Rector. The church building a wooden frame structure, was erected at the center of the site on what was then part of the Lewis Morris Farm; the farmhouse still stands on 177th street opposite the present church building. In 1907 the cornerstone for the new church building, the present sanctuary was laid. The first service in the edifice was on Easter Day 1911.
