The church dedicated to the Holy Life-Giving Trinity is located in the village of Koposovo in the Sormovo district of Nizhny Novgorod.

According to legend, in 1365, Sergius of Radonezh, with the blessing of Metropolitan Alexius of Moscow and all Rus, visited Nizhny Novgorod. His goal was to reconcile the princes Boris and Dmitry Konstantinovich and to restore the throne to Prince Dmitry.

The church legend claims that at the site of the future church, Sergius of Radonezh consecrated springs whose water helped those afflicted by the plague. In memory of this event, a chapel was first erected, followed by a wooden church dedicated to Sergius.

The stone church that exists today was built in 1803 with funds from the parishioners. It had three altars: the central one in honor of the Holy Life-Giving Trinity, the right one in honor of Sergius of Radonezh, and the left one in honor of the Entry of the Most Holy Theotokos into the Temple.

On November 22, 1938, the church was closed and repurposed as a factory club. In 1946, its premises were occupied by a zinc factory. The bell tower, the main Trinity chapel, the right supporting wall, and the vaults were destroyed, and the church lost its historical appearance.

In January 2008, the church was returned to the Nizhny Novgorod diocese, and since then, weekly water blessing services have been held there. On February 8, 2009, the first Divine Liturgy took place here.

The restoration of the church became part of the regional program "Under the Spiritual Protection of St. Sergius," timed to the 700th anniversary of Sergius of Radonezh, celebrated in 2014, and the 650th anniversary of his visit to Nizhny Novgorod in 1365.

On June 2, 2015, the bells, domes, and crosses for the church's bell tower were consecrated. On July 30, Metropolitan Georgy of Nizhny Novgorod and Arzamas conducted the rite of Great Consecration in the restored church, and on August 5, he consecrated the chapel.
