The parish in Malatia-Sebastia keeps an active community life today, so visitors may find services and gatherings in progress.
The church stands in the Malatia-Sebastia district in the south-western part of Yerevan, reached by car or public transport. It is an active parish, so visits fit around services; dress modestly as in any Armenian Apostolic church.
The church is a modern-scale replica of the 7th-century Zvartnots Cathedral, a circular domed structure whose ruins stand near Etchmiadzin. Architect Baghdasar Arzoumanian drew the plans, and Louise Simone Manoogian, an Armenian-American benefactor, paid for the construction. Karekin II consecrated the crosses on 9 November 2004, a year before the church itself.
