Biography
The Presbyterian Church in Leonia was formally established on February 15,1899, when 48 members of the Leonia True Dutch Reformed Church braved a heavy snowstorm to meet with representatives of the former Presbytery of Jersey City. The members split from the Reformed Church because they wanted to allow Christians from other denominations to participate in communion with them. The Rev. James Wyckoff was the first pastor.Initially the Church owned no land; in December of 1899, a gift of the land the Church still stands on was given by Mrs. Harriet Gladwin Walker. Two years later, our sanctuary opened for worship.
