A real estate listing for St. Stephen’s Church states that the congregation’s current building, based at 52 East Johnson Street in Bergenfield, was built in 1900 and is approximately 4,000 square feet. According to the St. Stephen’s Church website, that congregation was formed in 1984 and held worship services at Clinton Avenue Reformed Church in Bergenfield before the purchase of the church on East Johnson Street. The St. Stephen’s website also notes that the church’s patron saint was one of seven men chosen to attend to the distribution of aid to elderly widows within the church community. Stephen was known as a gifted evangelist, preaching the teachings of Jesus to the people of Jerusalem, including members of the Hellenistic synagogues. Acts of the Apostles describes how Stephen was tried by the Sanhedrin for blasphemy against Moses and God and for speaking against the temple and the law. He was stoned to death by a mob encouraged by Saul of Tarsus, who later became Saint Paul. Saint Stephen is traditionally depicted with a crown of martyrdom, three stones, and the martyrs’ palm. The website notes that, in Eastern Christian iconography, he is shown as a young beardless man with a tonsure, wearing a deacon’s vestments, and often holding a miniature church building and a censer.
