The history of Episcopalianism in Pine Plains dates to a time around seventy years before the Bethel troubles, when in 1784 Ebenezer Dibblee, the son of an Episcopal minister, came from Sharon, Connecticut and settled in Pine Plains. However, the Dibblee family was without a place to worship here, and instead made what must have been an arduous journey every Sabbath back to their home church in Sharon, a distance of over fifteen miles. So, in 1816 when the Union Meeting House in Pine Plains was being built, the Dibblees, along with the Bostwicks and a few other Episcopalians in the town, made sure their contributions to its erection bought them a quarter share in the church. Cornelia Bostwick organized the first Sunday School in the hamlet there in 1822. The Dibblee and Bostwick families were what kept the Episcopalian share in the meeting house solvent, but by 1826 both families had moved away, and the remaining Episcopalians worshiped with the Presbyterians for about the next twenty-five years.

As has been stated, Theron Wilber set about establishing an Episcopal church in Pine Plains in the 1850s. After failing at Bethel, work was begun on building an Episcopal church in the Pine Plains hamlet. The church was completed in 1861 at a cost of $1845 on about an acre of land which cost an additional $430. The main building measured 28 x 52 feet. The first rector was Rev. F. E. Shober in 1887.

In 1905, a fire nearly destroyed the church; the newly installed water works in the hamlet, along with the quick action of the Pine Plains Hose Company, are credited with saving it.
