The church of St. John's, Donisthorpe serves the a parish made up of several different communities: Donisthorpe, Moira, Oakthorpe, Acresford and Stretton-en-le-Field.

St John the Evangelist Church was erected in 1938. It is a listed Grade II building,[3] and within the ecclesiastical parish of Donisthorpe and Moira with Stretton-en-le-Field, Archdeaconry of Loughborough in the Diocese of Leicester. The last dedicated vicar vacated his position in 2006; the church is now part of a team ministry based in the nearby village of Measham. The vicarage house at Donisthorpe was sold but is also a Grade II building circa 1838. The church hall is opposite the church. It was originally the village school, donated by Sir John Cave, later converted to the church hall, and subsequently fell into disrepair and sold. The building has been converted to a private house.
