Johann Christoph Schinkel was born as the son of pastor Johann Gotthilf Schinkel (1713–1787) and the pastor's daughter Eleonora Brandt. He studied theology and philosophy in Halle from 1753 to 1756 . After having worked for a few years as a tutor and then as a preacher in Krenzlin near Neuruppin, he was elected deacon by the Neuruppin magistrate on July 1, 1762 .

Schinkel, who founded rationalism in Neuruppin, became archdeacon and inspector in 1769 . In the same year he married Dorothea Rose (1749-1800), the daughter of the merchant and trader Johann Rose (* 1701). One of his sons was Karl Friedrich Schinkel .

Johann Christoph Schinkel died of a cold, which he caught in August 1787 by helping out in the most devastating fire that has ever struck Neuruppin, and which also destroyed his home and his place of work - the parish church of St. Marien.
