The church belongs to the Deanery of St. George, Western Vicariat, Urban Diocese of Moscow of Russian Orthodox Church.
Church Complex
By the blessing of His Holiness Patriarch Alexy II of Moscow and all Rus' a small wooden church was erected in 2004, its architectural form being "korablets" (Old Russian: кораблец, "a small ship"), which is characteristic for old Russian wooden churches and represents the Church as a sanctuary from the storms of life.
In 2010 the Mayor of Moscow signed[1] an order to build a church complex, thus a tract of land to build a large stone church was assigned. The church became a part of the Program of Building of Orthodox Churches in Moscow ("200 Churches"[2]).
July 7th, 2016 the head of Western Vicariat of Moscow Bishop Tikhon of Yegoryevsk consecrated the erected church by the brief rite[3].
The main altar of the church is consecrated in honour of Saint Righteous John the Russian, the Confessor of Faith. Also there is a side-altar which is consecrated in honour of the Annunciation.
The church keeps an icon of Rigtheous John the Russian with a piece of his relics. The smal wooden church is decorated with a wrought melchior iconostasis in basma techinque, which blends Old Russian traditions with some elements of Byzantine style, and murals.

The divine services are held daily — a Liturgy at 8:30 AM (two Liturgies, at 7 AM and at 10 AM on Sundays, The Twelve Great Feasts and other great feasts), and an evening service at 5 PM.
