The Holy Dormition Church was recently restored and consecrated on October 13, 2009 and serves the parish which previously held regular divine services at the Red Fangzi. The rector is Rev. Sergiy Voronin who has celebrated Divine Liturgy on Sundays on a regular basis. Also temporarily participating in the divine services is the OCA Deacon, Alexei Tcherkassov. On the west side of the church building, the upper floor houses the parish library and the adjacent History Museum of the Russian Spiritual Mission in China. The lower floor provides rooms for visiting priests and conference room. It is located at the Russian Embassy at 4 Dongzhimen Beizhongjie, Beijing 100600 PRC.
Built in 1901 on the former Mission's ground, this temple was intended to be a temporary one after the temples of the Russian Ecclesiastical Mission were destroyed in the Yihetuan uprising. After the premise was turned over to the Soviet Embassy since 1957 it was long used as the Embassy garage until recently.
