John Henry Livingston was born on May 30, 1746 near Poughkeepsie, New York, United States, the son of Henry and Susanna (Conklin) Livingston. His father, Henry, was the son of Gilbert, a younger son of Robert Livingston, first lord of Livingston Manor.
John Henry was taught at home by his parents and by a private tutor, then studied under Reverend Chauncey Graham at Fishkill and Reverend Nathaniel Taylor at New Milford, Connecticut. Ready for Yale at twelve years of age, he was graduated there in 1762. Later he went to Holland to study theology, as was then the custom, he remained there from 1766 to 1770. He passed a vigorous examination at the University of Utrecht, May 16, 1770, and received the degree of doctor of theology.
In 1762 Livingston began to read law at Poughkeepsie. After two years, his health impaired, he gave himself to personal reflections, came to a positive religious experience, and felt himself called to the Christian ministry. His family was of the Dutch Reformed Church and the circumstance of the church at the time appealed to him. The English language was just finding place in its pulpits, a movement was afoot for the education of ministers in America, and independence from the rule of the church in Holland was increasing; controversy on these matters divided the church into two parties. He was ordained in April 1770. His distinction in family, education, and personal gifts was such that a call was sent to him by the church in New York to be one of its ministers, to preach chiefly in English, occasionally in Dutch. Accepting, he served this charge for forty years.
Livingston became almost immediately an effectual influence in the church at large. Though so young, he set forth a plan of union, brought from Holland, which in about two years united the two opposing factions. The American party had secured from George III, in 1766, the charter for Queen's College, at New Brunswick, New Jersey, where in 1771 work was commenced. In 1774 the faculty at Utrecht recommended Livingston for the office of president and professor of theology, but because of the war no appointment was made.
The British occupied New York, and Livingston, a Patriot, left the city. Until the close of hostilities he was in the Hudson River country, serving successively the churches of Kingston, Albany, Livingston Manor, and the two charges of Poughkeepsie and Red Hook. In 1783 he resumed his ministry in New York. The following year the General Synod of the Dutch Reformed Church elected him its professor of theology, establishing by this appointment the first theological seminary in the United States. Thenceforth he held the professorship in addition to his pastorate. He taught his students in New York and at times at Flatbush, Long Island.
During this period he was also very active in the further organizing of the united church. He prepared its Psalm Book (1789), The Psalms of David, with Hymns and Spiritual Songs . .. For the Use of the Reformed Dutch Church in North America (1796), and also The Constitution of the Reformed Dutch Church, in the United States of America, accepted by the Synod in 1792 and published in 1793, a compilation of the church's law, worship, and doctrinal standards.
He was zealous in communication with other church bodies in America and in the Old World, and zealous in the cause of foreign missions. In 1810 he was chosen president of Queen's College (now Rutgers University), with the understanding that his duties in this office would be only formal, that his professorship of theology would continue and be his chief concern. He brought to New Brunswick his five theological students of that time. The college continued small and without adequate resources, and after a time its classes were omitted for some years. The theological classes continued, however, and other professors were associated with Livingston. After fifteen years in his new home and his twofold office, active to the end, he died in his sleep, at the age of seventy-nine.
Livingston published a number of sermons and addresses, including: Oratio Inauguralis de Veritate Religionis Christianae (1785); The Glory of the Redeemer (1799); An Address Delivered at the Commencement Held at Queen's College in New-Jersey, Sept. 25, 1810 (1810); A Funeral Service, or Meditations Adapted to Funeral Addresses (1812); and A Dissertation on the Marriage of a Man with his Sister-in-law (1816).

Livingston had a fine physical presence; he was tall, of dignified bearing, and impressive public address. With high attainments in the classics and in theology and unusual spiritual qualities he combined a practical understanding of church affairs.
On November 26, 1775, Livingston married his second cousin, Sarah, daughter of Philip Livingston. She died December 29, 1814. They had one child.
