The interior of the Old Bergen Church features a balcony and mahogany decor. The stained-glass windows reveal the benefactors and founding members of the congregation and community. They were contributed by the Van Reypen, Newkirk, Van Horne, Sip, and Van Winkle families, among others. A signed Louis Tiffany-stained glass window is in the sanctuary. Church records and sermons were preserved in Dutch until the early nineteenth century. The completed church was dedicated on July 14, 1842.
