In former times, there were four churches in Vorsma, Pavlovsky District of Nizhny Novgorod Oblast. One of them was dedicated to the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God. Initially, the church was wooden, but when it became dilapidated, a stone building was constructed in 1823 with funds from parishioners. According to legend, the main financing was provided by landowner Obtyazhnova from Komarovo. The church had an altar dedicated to the holy martyrs, princes Boris and Gleb, in honor of the angel of the landowner of Vorsma, Prince Boris Cherkassky. During the existence of the wooden church, this was the Borisoglebsk burial site. The architecture of the church is in the classical style, characterized by clarity and geometric forms.

In A. Smirnov's book "Pavlovo and Vorsma, known for the steel and locksmith production of the village of Nizhny Novgorod province," it is mentioned that the church housed relics: a part of the Lord's Robe and a part of the Tree of the Holy Cross, donated by landowner Obtyazhnov. These relics were displayed for public veneration on the analogs on both sides of the pulpit. The church also housed an ancient icon of the Kiev Wonderworkers. The iconostasis in the church's altar was picturesque and had the shape of a cross-shaped combination of stars. The name of the first church elder of the Kazan church is known: peasant Andrei Sharonov from the village of Malye Myakushki.

In the mid-1930s, like other churches in Vorsma, the Kazan church was closed by the authorities. Its last rector was Archpriest Alexander Troitsky, who served here for about 40 years. He was arrested in 1937. After the church was closed, the church utensils, icons, and vestments of the clergy were liquidated, and the bells were removed and taken away. For about twenty years, it served as a grain storage facility. During the Great Patriotic War and in the early post-war years, there were no functioning churches left in the Pavlovsky District.

In 1953, a resident of Vorsma, Alexey Mikhailovich Kuklev, organized a meeting of believers, where they decided to appeal to the Soviet authorities and the Nizhny Novgorod Diocese with a request to reopen the church in Vorsma. An initiative group was formed, and two years later, they received permission to reopen the church. On the feast of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God on July 21, 1955, the services were resumed. Since grain was still stored inside, the service took place outside at the main entrance. Soon, the church was completely cleared and restored. Deacon Gennady Tarakanov from the Nizhny Novgorod Diocese provided significant assistance to the community. On November 19, 1956, the church was consecrated again in honor of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God. After restoration, the church retained the ancient character of its interior decoration and wall paintings, which were updated in the late 1980s by artist V.P. Bulanov.

The first clergy of the revived church were Archpriest Gerasim Popkov and Ioann Frolov, while the first deacon was Father Gennady Tarakanov. A.M. Kuklev was elected as the elder, and V.P. Druzhinin as the treasurer. Many believers from the Pavlovsky and Bogorodsky districts gathered for services, especially on Sundays and holidays.
