The Seraphim of Sarov Church is a small wooden church located in the Moscow microdistrict of Ivanovo. Seraphim of Sarov is one of the most revered saints in Russia. The first service in the church took place on December 4, 2003, and on January 15, 2004, the church was consecrated on the feast day of St. Seraphim.
The church grounds include a Sunday school for children, a refectory, a church shop, a library, a park area, a pond with fish, and a small playground with a sandbox. On August 1, 2009, a large bronze sculpture of Seraphim of Sarov was installed at the main entrance to the church, depicting him kneeling with his hands raised in prayer. The pedestal is made of stone with the inscription "Acquire a peaceful spirit." In 2013, a cross-stone was erected on the church grounds as a symbol of the centuries-old friendship between the Russian and Armenian peoples. Currently, a stone church is being built next to the Seraphim of Sarov Church in honor of the Protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
