The church project was developed by Moscow architect Andrey Barabanov and approved by Patriarch of Moscow and all Rus Alexy II. On October 13, 1996, in the southern part of Gryazovets, at the entrance to the cedar grove, Bishop Maximilian of Vologda and Veliky Ustyug conducted the ceremony of laying the church's foundation. A board of trustees for the parish was formed. The construction was financed by the Gryazovets LPU MG enterprise, the gas compressor station KS 17 under the leadership of Konstantin Simakov, and LLC Gazprom Transgaz Ukhta. Additionally, 400 thousand rubles were allocated from the budget of the Gryazovets district in 2005 and 2006, while the residents of Gryazovets raised about 150 thousand rubles. Many local residents participated in the construction. Valery Kravchenko, head of the capital construction department of Gryazovets LPU MG, was appointed the chief builder. The foundation was built by the firm Kom-fort under the guidance of Yuri Mironov. Complex installation work was carried out by a team of carpenters led by Yuri Bugy. Alexander Samarin was responsible for the church's finishing, while Evgeny Sharygin handled the electrification. Yuri Pavlov from the village of Vokhtoga made the wooden domes, cupolas, and cross for the church.

The church, consecrated in honor of the theologian Ignatius Bryanchaninov, became the first in the Vologda region built in the ancient Russian style and has a height of 27 meters. In May 2007, five dome crosses were consecrated and installed, and in February 2009, the bells cast at Nikolai Shuvalov's factory in Tutayev, Yaroslavl region, were consecrated. The installation of the bells on the bell tower was carried out by masters from Tutayev. The largest bell, the chime, weighs 860 kilograms. On February 11, 2013, the church was consecrated. On this day, the Church remembers the holy martyr Ignatius the Godbearer, the heavenly patron of Saint Ignatius Bryanchaninov. After the consecration, Archbishop Maximilian of Vologda and Veliky Ustyug conducted the Liturgy. Benefactors who participated in the construction received church awards: Konstantin Simakov was presented with the diocesan medal of St. Dimitry of Priluki, while others received archiepiscopal certificates.
