The name of the village Inokovka comes from the word "inon". According to legend, in a dense forest on the banks of the Vorona River, there was a hermitage where several recluses lived, arriving from unknown places. The first residents of the village visited their small church.

Until 1871, there was one church in Inokovka. In 1872, the village split into Old and New Inokovka, or First and Second. In the 1870s, a small wooden church was built in Second Inokovka, where Priest Nikolai Koreyskiy served. In 1893, the church burned down, and the priest was buried next to its walls.

A new church was built and consecrated in 1899. It was wooden, with three altars: the main one in honor of the Holy Trinity, and the side ones in honor of the Tikhvin Icon of the Mother of God and Saint Nicholas. The construction was funded by the parishioners, who numbered 577 households at that time.

The church was closed in 1937. Before that, two priests served there, Father Simeon and Father Peter. After the war, believers tried to have it reopened. Parishioners partially restored the church, placing several preserved icons. At the very top remained two icons that were not removed due to their height, depicting the Lord Sabaoth and the Mother of God.

In 1991, Valentin Ilyich Reutov decided to revive spiritual life in the village by organizing a parish in Second Inokovka, which included residents of First Inokovka. At that time, the old school was decommissioned, and he, along with active parishioners, petitioned for the annex to be converted into a church. The construction was carried out with the blessing of Archbishop Eugene of Tambov and Michurinsk.

The church was built, covered with galvanized iron, plastered, and floors and ceilings were laid. Royal gates, a chandelier, domes with crosses, and all icons were acquired, including a glass one with backlighting for the Holy Place. However, Valentin was unable to open the church. He was transferred to the Kazan Men's Monastery in Tambov, where the Bishop of Tambov and Michurinsk, Theodosius, tonsured him as a monk with the name Pitirim. Soon he became the spiritual father of the Kazan Monastery.

Thus, after many years of desolation, the church and church service were revived in Second Inokovka, along with faith in the people. Valentin Ilyich became the first priest in Inokovka after many years of godlessness.
