Old Belief was one of the religious movements in Russian Orthodoxy, but by the early 19th century, a new trend called the Old Believers emerged in Russia. The Old Believers were subordinate to the Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church, had their own churches, but conducted services according to old liturgical books and performed rituals based on traditions passed down orally. In the Kargapol volost, such an Old Believer church was located in the village of Voronova, situated 3 km from Kargapol.

By the end of the 19th century, this church fell into disrepair, and the faithful decided to build a new stone church in honor of the Intercession of the Holy Virgin, but already in the volost center. The church was planned to be erected on the eastern outskirts of the village. Parishioners, Shadrinsk merchants Mikhail and Timofey Yuklyaevsky, Yekaterinburg merchant Semyon Yurganov, Archpriest Ioann Sergeev of the Andreevsky Naval Cathedral, known as Ioann of Kronstadt, and former resident of the village Yakov Kargapolov, who lived in St. Petersburg, participated in the construction. The Synod allocated 3,400 rubles for the construction, and the Perm administration of state property added 1,000 rubles. Shadrinsk merchant Georgy Mikhailovich Yuklyaevsky donated a bell worth 450 rubles. A total of 6,550 rubles was raised for the construction.

The construction was completed by 1895. The entire previous parish from the villages of Volodina, Khamovaya, Zhuravlyova, Barsukova, Kolmogorova, Nechunaeva, Mishagina, Tukmannaya, Zhikina, Smolina, from the villages of Baklanskoye, Dolgovskoye, Ust-Miasskoye, Osinovskoye, Kondinskoye, Kargapolskoye, and Zhitnikovskoye transitioned to the new Pokrovskaya church. In 1900, the number of parishioners was 1,679, in 1902 it was 1,789, and in 1915 it reached 1,842.

The church was built of local red brick, covered with iron, and was not plastered. Because of this, it had a second name, the Red Church. Externally, the temple resembled the Shadrinsk Resurrection Church, the church in the village of Lebyazhye, and in the settlement of Mishkino. The temple had three domes: above the altar, the refectory, and the bell tower.

There was a wooden house for the priest next to the church and another house in the village of Voronova, which housed a literacy school. The church owned 68 desyatinas of arable land and 21 desyatinas of hayfields.

On June 1, 1937, the Kargapol village council decided to close the church and arrange a club with an electrical installation in it. On April 15, 1938, the Chelyabinsk regional executive committee approved this decision. The priest was arrested along with eight other clergymen from the Kargapol district. In the autumn of 1943, a distillery was placed in the church building. Later, the building was abandoned, and it remained in that state until the end of the 1980s.

Only on December 8, 1989, was the building transferred to a new religious community, and restoration began in 1992.
