[4] In 1817, a small Lutheran community was formed in Yaroslavl, however, as yet deprived of official status and its own pastor.

Independent communities in Russia were allowed to be created only in 1832, when Nicholas I signed the "Decree on the official status of the Evangelical Lutheran Church."

The General Treasury allocated 3428 rubles for the construction, which were added to the donations collected by the Lutheran community of the city from the moment the petition was submitted.

[7] During this war, many prominent members of the Lutheran community had the goal of providing assistance to the Germans, who at that time found themselves in a difficult situation.

For example, the Consul General sent "a postal order in the amount of 115 rubles" for nine German citizens who ended up on the territory of the Yaroslavl Governorate.

In 1915, in connection with the intensification of the anti-German campaign, the Russian government forbade the transfer of money to German priests.

It was headed by the former police chief Dolivo-Dobrovolsky and State Councilor Arsenyev, and since 1917 this function was taken over by the Swedish embassy.

[7] By the time of the revolution, there were about 2,000 members of the Yaroslavl-Kostroma-Vologda district in Yaroslavl (according to the statistics of 1905: 1,000 Estonians, 720 Germans, 660 Latvians), to which the church belonged.

In 1934, the Soviet government liquidated the Evangelical Lutheran community of Yaroslavl itself, nationalizing its remaining property.

[2] On 2 August 2011, a monument was erected in the courtyard of the church in memory of the deportation of Russian Germans in the USSR during the German-Soviet War.

Lutherans, Russian Germans, representatives of the authorities, Orthodox and Catholic priests came to the opening and consecration of the memorial stone.

[11] Significant assistance in the restoration of the church was provided by Lutheran organizations and societies, including those from Kassel.

[12][13][14] One such organization, the Kassel Society for Promoting the Revival of the Church Building of the Lutheran Community of Yaroslavl, donated a total of 230,000 euros.

[5]On 25 March 2015, the local news program Vesti reported that due to lack of money in the city's budget, a Communist MP suggested selling the Lutheran church.

The offer to sell was also linked to the accusation that the church was in poor condition and that no positive development was taking place in it.

[18][19] On 15 March 2018, pastor Agris Pilsums, who ministers in the Lutheran communities of Ilukste, Subate, Lashi in Latvia, arrived by car in Yaroslavl and brought for the congregation a diptych "The Ninth Hour" ("Devītā stunda"), written by his wife, Master of Arts Daiga Pilsume.

[20] The Lutheran community finally regained the church only on 19 December 2018, after a decision was made by a meeting of the municipality of Yaroslavl.

[24] The local German autonomy of Yaroslavl also cooperates with the church, holding various events, including concerts.
