The church was built in 1833, one of the first churches in what is now the City of Toronto. It was also the first church built in Hoggs Hollow. It was built in a forest from the trees therein. It stood at what is now 102 York Mills Rd. for 115 years, remaining intact for three years after it closed.

The church was torn down in 1948, and a beam from York Mills Baptist Church was used to erect St. John's York Mills Anglican Church.

According to City of Toronto documents, the church was often struggling with membership numbers as far back as the 1860s, when it had just six women as parishoners. The church was colloquially known as "The Church of the Six Sisters."

The official address of the cemetery is 104 York Mills Rd., but the history extends to the properties immediately west and east, 102 and 106, respectively.

On the east side of the cemetery, at what is now 106 York Mills Rd. was the manse, which stands today. Built in 1840, it is on the city's inventory of heritage properties.
