St. John’s Church has been a part of the Pleasantville community since 1853 when, along with St. Stephen’s in Armonk and St. Mark’s in Mt. Kisco, it was established as a mission church of Grace Church in White Plains. The Rev. Robert W. Harris, Rector of Grace Church, was the Priest-in-Charge. Services were held in a schoolhouse in the Old Village until 1885.

In that same year, the congregation occupied a new sanctuary on Bedford Road which served as its home until the present building was occupied in 1912 under the rectorate of the Rev. Dr. Stephen Holmes. The former building now serves as the Pleasantville Community Synagogue.

To meet the demands of a growing church community, the parish hall was added. Built of native stone with a roof of Vermont slate, it was completed in 1929 under the rectorate of the Rev. Emmons Parkman Burrill. In 1972, the classroom and office wing was completed.
