The first wooden church with an altar in honor of the Life-Giving Trinity was built in the 17th century on the right bank of the Vyatka River. In 1747, there were 25 monastery peasants living here, belonging to the Spassky Transfiguration Tsepochkinsky Monastery. In 1810, there was a summer house of the Urzhum merchant Terenty Pustovalov, which he later sold to Privy Councillor Moberakh.

In 1740, the Kazan Spiritual Consistory issued a decree for the construction of a wooden church with a chapel in honor of the Life-Giving Trinity. The main altar of the church was consecrated on October 24, 1744, by Archpriest Nikita Ivanov. In 1817, permission was granted to arrange a warm chapel in the dining church in the name of the Holy Trinity, which was consecrated on July 2, 1818, by Urzhum Dean Jacob Korovaev. In 1810, it was reported that the church was poor in utensils but only needed a large bell.

On June 12, 1818, Bishop Ambrose issued a decree for the construction of a stone church in the village, which was fully completed along with the bell tower by 1828. In the same year, it was reported that the church had not yet been consecrated due to unfinished interior decoration. By 1839, the cold church was plastered inside, the floor was covered with limestone, and the roof was made of iron. The warm church remained in poor condition due to lack of funds and was poor in utensils. Only by 1852 was the floor laid with colored brick tiles, but the roof remained wooden.

In 1915, it was said that the church was stone with a similar bell tower over the porch, covered with iron, whitened with lime outside, plastered and painted inside, with floors covered with limestone, surrounded by a wooden fence on stone pillars. The fence was dilapidated and required repairs, but the utensils were sufficient.

The altars in the cold church were in the name of the Holy Trinity, while in the warm church, in the name of Cosmas and Damian and in honor of the venerable Zosima and Savvatiy, the Solovetsky miracle workers. The church was consecrated in 1831.

Among the first known priests were Father Pavel Isidorov, Father Mikhail Ivanov, Father Simeon Mikhailov, and Father Fedot Igumnov, a graduate of the Kazan New-Baptized School. In the early 20th century, Father Georgy Sboev served here, later a priest of the Resurrection Cathedral in Urzhum, and Father Matfey Satayev. During the Soviet era, Father Pavel Kazansky and Father Mitrofan Karavaev served. From July 8, 1929, to March 23, 1930, Archpriest Vasily Ovchinnikov served in the church.

On March 18, 1922, there was a seizure of church valuables in the church. In 1930, the Presidium of the Nolina District Executive Committee decided to close the church in the village of Kozmodemyansk, which was confirmed at the meeting of the Presidium of the Urzhum District Executive Committee on March 19, 1934, and sent for approval to the Oblast Executive Committee. Without waiting for the latter, it was decided at the same meeting to transfer all valuable items from the Kozmodemyansk church to another premises. After the church was closed, all its furnishings were destroyed, crosses were cut down, and the dome was demolished. Over the years, the building housed a village council, a club, a store, and a branch of a library.
