As the Empress planned to take personal care of the church, the church has no parish, and there is no bell tower to call the congregation to divine service.
But she died before the construction ended, so the church was never cared for by Elizabeth.
After her death, the imperial court took no interest in the church, and the church was left without any funding.
For some time, the church existed off of private and voluntary funds, from people such as Andrey Muravyov.

Later on, the church was handed down to the Kyiv Council in 1768.
The Kiev City Duma took control over the church, and later reorganized into the Kyiv Council in 1785.
In 1815, a strong storm tore off the church's cupolas.
After the storm, the church was in need of a full restoration.
In the next year, architect Andrey Melensky made a plan of the building's façade and sent them for consideration to Saint Petersburg.
In 1825–1828, the church was restored, based on Melensky's plans.
The red mission tiles was replaced by metal, resulting in the fact that the cupolas lost some decor and changed their form.
