Take a suburban train on the Belarusian line to Nemchinovka station. Alternatively, city bus No. 139 takes you from Filyovskiy Park or Slavyanskiy Boulevard metro stations to the Novoivanovskoye stop, at the underpass over Mozhayskoye Highway.

From the stop, a walking route leads to Nemchinovka station without requiring you to cross the road. After crossing the railway line, it is 50 m to 2-y Prosek and a further 100 m along the avenue to the church. Check current train services separately.

The original church building was created by converting a wooden house that the settlement’s founder, Mikhail Ardalionovich Nemchinov, had donated for use as a church. The Church of the Nativity opened in 1914, during the First World War. The original building was later destroyed; today, the church occupies a room in the Nemchinovskiy poselkovyy klub (Nemchinovka Settlement Club) on the same site.

The parish also has a date of its own: it was re-established in 2002, and services resumed at the same time. This helps distinguish the history of the former church building from the church’s current location.
