斯特梵出生于俄罗斯。从年幼时起，他就潜心祷告，虔诚地进行思考。当他尚且年轻时，便来到了罗斯托夫，在那里的神学家圣格里哥利修道院成为一名修士。在得知裴尔玛这个地方被异教充满时，斯特梵决定在那里进行传教。于是，斯特梵立即开始学习当地的语言，而当他掌握了语言之后，便编写了字母，并将教会的书籍翻译成当地的语言。在莫斯科都主教的祝福之下，斯特梵成了一名司祭，开始了他的使徒传道使命，在裴尔玛这块黑暗的异教土地上传讲福音。在为一些人进行施浸之后，他在裴尔玛地区建立了一座修道院，以纪念圣母领报节。当上帝的教会在裴尔玛地区繁荣起来时，斯特梵被任命为当地的主教。在经受了各种艰难、恶意的攻击和羞辱之后，斯特梵在裴尔玛地区的异教徒中间成功地驱散了黑暗的阴影，用基督之光照亮了他们。在年迈之际，斯特梵返回了莫斯科，并在那里去世，得以进入主耶稣的国度，当时为公元1396年。
