The Orthodox parish in the village of Kurganovo has belonged to the Polevskoy district since the 19th century. The village, located 20 km from Polevskoy, got its name from ancient earthen mounds, kurgans. Locals associate the founding of the village with the early 18th century when Tatishchev and de Genin built state mining factories in the Urals. Until the end of the 19th century, the village did not have its own church and was part of the Pokrovsky parish of the village of Gorny Shchit. About a thousand people lived in Kurganovo, all of whom were Orthodox and primarily worked in the mines and gold fields. Agriculture was little practiced due to the stony and sandy soil.

In 1870, local residents built a wooden chapel in honor of St. Prince Alexander Nevsky to commemorate the liberator Tsar Alexander II, who freed the peasants from serfdom.

In 1889, with the blessing of Bishop Polycarp Rozanov of Yekaterinburg, a wooden church was laid on the banks of the Chusovaya River in honor of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. Bishop Polycarp blessed the construction, and on August 19, 1891, the church was consecrated. It featured a two-tiered red iconostasis with gilded carvings, and the icons of the lower tier were painted on a chased gilded background.

Since 1898, the parish became independent by decree of the Holy Synod. The parish had a priest with an annual salary of 300 rubles and a psalmist with a salary of 100 rubles. The clergy received four dessiatinas of arable land and four dessiatinas of hayfield from the parishioners, as well as a communal apartment. Starting in 1901, the Main Administration of Mining Factories allocated 18 dessiatinas of hayfield. The independence of the parish also implied the right to maintain metric books.

In 1901, the parish was led by Priest Nikolai Biryukov, later canonized as a priest-martyr. In 1910, while being the spiritual father of a women's monastery in Kamensk, he was shot by the Bolsheviks. The psalmist in the church since 1898 was Mikhail Porfiryevich Suvorov, who started as a singer in the archbishop's choir and completed 4 classes of the Spiritual School. He and his wife Maria Afanasyevna raised four children. Their eldest son became a priest and served in the Holy Cathedral of the Warsaw Diocese. From 1915, Priest Nikolai Posypkin was appointed as the rector of the church.

The St. Nicholas Church in Kurganovo served until the spring of 1940 when it was closed under the pretext of creating a school that was never opened. The church building was first used as a cultural center and then as a warehouse. In 1974, the building was demolished.

On July 13, 2012, the Great Consecration of the new church in Kurganovo took place, conducted by Bishop Kirill Nakonechny, the ruling hierarch of the Yekaterinburg Metropolis.
