Next to the Christmas church is the Meeting Church with a refectory. In its current form, it was built in the 1630s, although some documents suggest that a stone church with the same name previously stood on this site. The monastery inventory of 1615 states: "The monastery of the Transfiguration of the Savior and the Meeting of the Lord, both stone churches, and in the refectory, a wooden church of the Nativity of Christ." However, the Land Book of 1624 asserts otherwise: "In the same monastery, there is a wooden church of the Meeting of the Lord." It is possible that it is correct, and until the 1630s, the refectory church remained wooden. The modern Meeting Church consists of two parts: the church itself and the refectory, and has two floors. An impressive porch was added to the west, and a wooden toilet was adjacent to the northwest. To the north, the refectory was continued by the brotherhood building, which was dismantled in the late 18th century. At that time, the chapel in honor of the martyr Antipas was moved from the Spaso-Transfiguration Cathedral to the refectory part of the church.

In the 19th century, the Meeting Church underwent significant changes. Instead of a wooden covering, it was topped with iron, altering the roof structure and dome. Decorative elements of the facades were partially cut down or plastered over, and the door and window openings were modified. In 1836, a chapel in honor of the Old Russian icon of the Mother of God was consecrated in the lower tier, the underchurch, and a few years later, the chapel of the martyr Antipas was moved here. In 1892, the Old Russian chapel was reconsecrated in the name of St. Isidore of Pelusium.
