On July 25, 2010, in Noginsk, Moscow region, with the blessing of the head of the Moscow diocese, and in the presence of a large gathering of townspeople and clergy, Bishop Roman conducted the ceremony of laying the foundation for a new church in honor of the holy blessed Matrona of Moscow, who is especially revered by believers in Russia and abroad. The site for construction was chosen on the picturesque bank of the Klyazma River, where there had previously been no church. The white-stone church, designed in the style of ancient Russian single-domed churches, accommodates about 300 people and has upper and lower chapels. The upper chapel is dedicated to Saint Matrona of Moscow, while the lower chapel is dedicated to the Great Martyr George the Victorious. The architects were N.G. Blagovidova and E.N. Maslov.
On October 2, 2011, Metropolitan Juvenal of Krutitsy and Kolomna, along with the clergy, visited the construction site of the church, where he conducted a prayer service for the holy patroness.
On May 6, 2012, on the feast day of the Great Martyr George the Victorious, the first Divine Liturgy was held in the George chapel of the church.
