In 1727, the diocesan authorities ordered the construction of a stone church in the Usty-Suery settlement and a wooden one in the village of Shmakovo. Between 1727 and 1743, a wooden Intercession church was built, which burned down at the end of 1749 or the beginning of 1750. In 1751, a new wooden church with one altar was constructed. Over time, the building became dilapidated, and on February 23, 1827, the plan and facade of a new stone church were approved. It was decided to arrange two altars: in the main cold church, in honor of the Intercession of the Holy Virgin, and in the warm winter chapel, in honor of the Ascension of the Lord. The church was laid on August 15, 1827. Services in the warm Ascension chapel began in 1833, while the main altar in the cold Intercession church was consecrated only in 1835 due to the unpreparedness of the iconostasis. By 1850, the church was surrounded by a brick fence with wooden grilles, at the western corners of which stone schools and a shop for selling candles were built. In 1865 and 1868, the fence was damaged by the spring floods of the Suery River.

The church housed the icon of the Mother of God "It is Truly Meet," brought from the Athos Andrew Skete at the initiative of the rector, Archpriest Grigory Reshchikov, with the permission of the diocesan authorities. The image was consecrated in 1892 on the Holy Mountain of Athos, with particles of the relics of Saint Great Martyr Panteleimon and Venerable John Kukuzel placed in it by the blessing of Bishop Justin of Tobolsk and Siberia. Every year on June 11 according to the old style, a procession with the icon was held around the village and the yards of the parishioners. In 2003, Elizaveta Andreevna Rukhova, the last member of the community, transferred the image to the Assumption Church of the village of Vargashi.

During the uprising of 1921, local members of the Youth Union were locked in the bell tower, which was then set on fire. In 1922, the authorities confiscated a silver robe from one of the icons in the Shmakovo church, which had been shot through with bullets. In 1925, there were two wooden iconostases with 15 icons in the church, and there were 6 bells in the bell tower. Their ringing was banned by a resolution of the presidium of the Belozersk district executive committee on December 7, 1934, but the church continued to operate, and a priest was present.

In 1938, by decisions of the meetings of the residents of the Shmakovo and Shastovo village councils, the church was closed and used for grain storage, and by 1945, one half of it was converted into a club. By 1958, the building had become unsuitable even for storage: the plaster was falling off, the walls were weathered, the iron roof was dilapidated, the central dome's ceiling cracked and partially collapsed. In 1959, the Kurgan regional executive committee decided to dismantle the church building for construction materials, but this decision was not implemented. In 2008, the building was included in the list of cultural heritage sites of the Kurgan region.

The parish of the Intercession of the Holy Virgin of the village of Shmakovo in the Vargashinsky district was registered on March 18, 1996. In the late 1990s, community members gathered for prayer in a private house, then in a converted room. However, with the death of the elderly, the community diminished, and in 2007, the Intercession parish officially ceased its activities as a legal entity.
