The village of Kirsanovka is located on both sides of the Sorochka River, which is a left tributary of the Samara and is surrounded by dense forests. In 1852, a wooden church was built here on a high stone foundation. In the early 20th century, the church building was reconstructed to increase its volume. The church was used for its intended purpose until 1936, after which it was closed, dismantled, and a school was built from its materials. In the 1950s, when a new school was erected, the old building was demolished.
In 2001, thanks to funding from benefactor A.N. Maryashin, a native of Kirsanovka, a project for new construction on the site of the old church was developed. On July 26, 2012, consecrated domes with crosses, made by specialists from the company 'Slavstroyrestavratsiya', were installed on the church.
The Kazan church has two altars: the upper one, with a baptismal font and a cross-shaped basin, and the lower one, intended for winter services. The first Easter service took place on April 24, 2011. In July 2011, bells were raised to the under-construction bell tower. In 2011, the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God was gifted to the church by Maria Borisovna Nikolaeva, a native of the village of Kirsanovka.
