Help please with a location of a church in Smyrna in 1892.

Hi Folks,
My great grandfather, Der Haroutyoun YEGHIVARTIAN, was in 1892, ordained at the 'Kourou Cheshme' church by Bishop K. Hovhannesian.
Kourou Cheshme, may be Kourou Cesme, I'm presuming in Izmir (Smyrna). Could it be in the Basmane district?
Der Haroutyoun YEGHIVARTIANm was born, in Smyrna, on the 3rd August 1850, as Garabed Takvor YEGHIVARTIAN and married Nouneh MAROUTIAN in 1876.
Please can anyone me help to locate exactly this church, which may no longer be around. I know that St. Stepanos Church was destroyed in a fire in 1922, might Kourou Cesme be a place, rather than a church name?
Kind regards
Mike
