History

William Greenhill was the first minister, from its foundation until his death in 1671. He was succeeded by Matthew Mead.

Contemporary

In 1974, following the 1972 merger of the Congregationalist church with the Presbyterians into the United Reformed Church, the Congregationalist of the Stepney Meeting House joined up with the Presbyterians of the John Knox Presbyterian Church of England, to create a single congregation.
