Originally, the Church of Archangel Michael in Yerzovka, brought from Tsaritsyn, was wooden, but by 1890 it had fallen into complete disrepair. It was decided to build a new stone church, and the funds for its construction were allocated by the Pichuzhinsky Merchant Society. The construction lasted six years, and in 1896 the church was opened and consecrated by Archbishop Nikolai of Tsaritsyn. The architects created a majestic brick building with five sky-blue domes. Later, a church school was opened in the church, and services were held.

With the advent of Soviet power, the church, like many others, was closed, the school ceased operations, and priest Nikolai Violetov was repressed. Services were held rarely and ceased in 1937. The church began to deteriorate: crosses were removed, bricks were taken by local residents for building baths, and icons were used as firewood. The exterior of the church became dilapidated, and a grain storage facility was placed inside. During the Great Patriotic War, the bell tower was destroyed by a direct shell hit.

After the war, hydrochloric acid was stored in the church, and the southern wall was demolished for truck passage. By the mid-1970s, there were plans to blow up the church, but local residents prevented this. Until 1986, the church stood empty; then there were plans to turn it into a melioration museum, but the project was not realized. In 1990, an Orthodox community formed in Yerzovka, deciding to buy and restore the church. Local authorities initially resisted the transfer of the church and did not want to participate in its restoration, even refusing to sell building materials. However, the community found a way to restore the church: since 1991, the priest and residents of the village began actively putting it in order. Mountains of garbage were removed, a shell was extracted from the wall, and the wall painting damaged by acid was restored.

Gradually, the church was transformed and by 1996 was almost completely restored, preserving its historical appearance. Currently, restoration and renovation work continues in the church.
