Six months after the start of the Civil War, The Reverend William N. Dunnell, rector of Red Bank's Trinity Church, began holding services in a schoolhouse in Riceville, as Navesink was then known. Soon a parish was organized by the Milnor and Stephens families, who provided the land, hired the architect, and paid for the building of All Saints' Memorial Church.

Richard Upjohn, well known as a leading exponent of English Gothic Revival architecture in America and designer of Trinity Church, located on Wall Street in New York City, was the architect chosen. The cornerstone was laid on October 7, 1863, and the church was consecrated in 1864. A parish house was built in 1865-6, a rectory in 1869-1870, and carriage sheds at the turn of the century.

All Saints' was officially made a National Historic Site in 1974, and designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1988.
