The history of the Mushkovai church began in 1862, when peasants from the village of Mushkovai started correspondence with the Vyatka provincial government to establish a new parish and build a church. A document in the State Archive of the Udmurt Republic states that the parish of the village of Mushkovai was opened by the decision of the Vyatka diocesan authorities on August 31 and September 4, 1871. It included settlements that previously belonged to the parish of the village of Multan: the village of Mushkovai, the settlements of Novy Mushkovai, Karkalay, Tylovai, Zhal-Oshmes, Oshmesvai, the village of Ittsy-Uvamya, and the settlements of Chekan, Tylovai, and Kynsovai. Initially, a prayer house was built, and in 1872, a church was erected, consecrated on November 11, 1872, in honor of the Great Martyr Dmitry. The church was initially attached to the Multan church but became independent in 1873.

The villagers put in a lot of effort to build the church, helping in any way they could. In 1872, the church was completed and consecrated in honor of Saint Great Martyr Dmitry of Thessalonica, one of the revered saints in Russia. The first priest was Ioann Vasnetsov, and the psalmist was Pyotr Popov. The interior of the church featured a high ceiling and large windows, with the dome painted in oil colors. The feast day was celebrated on November 8, and the entire week was called Dmitrievskaya.

On October 19, 1874, a church-parish school was opened at the church. For a long time, the church played an important role in the lives of the parishioners. However, with the rise of the Bolsheviks, serious changes began. In the spring of 1922, vestments, crowns, Gospel covers, silver chalices, crosses, and candlesticks were confiscated from the church and handed over to the regional finance department. In 1939, the church-parish council disbanded, and in early 1941, meetings were held regarding the closure of the church.

The Dmitrievskaya church was closed by the Decree of the Supreme Soviet of the UASSR on September 3, 1941. During the war, the building was used as a grain storage facility, and after the war, it became a club. In 1999, due to its emergency condition, the building was closed and subsequently dismantled. The site remained empty for five years.

In 2006, the site for the construction of a new church was consecrated, with a project developed by St. Petersburg architect I.G. Noskov. The construction was funded by donations from D.V. Varganov, and Father Sergey was appointed as the priest. By 2007, a new church was built and consecrated on the feast day. In 2009, Metropolitan Nikolai of Izhevsk and Udmurtia conducted the rite of full consecration of the church. Currently, Hieromonk Serafim Zaitsev serves at the Mushkovai church.
