The church dedicated to the holy martyrs Faith, Hope, Love, and their mother Sophia was built in 1799 thanks to Major General Alexander Vasilyevich Urusov. In 1814, Alexandra Alexandrovna Melgunova financed the relocation of the church to a new site, and it was consecrated on June 10, 1842. Initially, the building was wooden and had a bell tower.

Count Vasily Grigoryevich Pustoshkin, known for his apple orchards and supplying apples to the Imperial table, replaced the old wooden church with a new stone one in 1865, following the advice of his late father. The construction lasted two years, and in 1867, Bishop Gerasim of Samara and Stavropol consecrated the temple. Count Pustoshkin invested up to 50,000 rubles in silver into the construction, purchase of church utensils, and the arrangement of the iconostasis.

The church had facilities for a school, library, and a caretaker's room. The temple was adorned with an iconostasis, skillfully painted icons, valuable candlesticks, and all necessary accessories.

On October 22, 1884, a single-class church school opened in the parish of Penzino, for which a separate building was constructed.

The church has two altars: the lower, warm altar consecrated in honor of Saint Prince Alexander Nevsky on October 22, 1875, and the upper altar dedicated to Saint Great Martyr Sophia and her daughters Faith, Hope, and Love, consecrated on July 8, 1877.

There were three churches of this architecture in Russia: in Samara, the Baltics (both destroyed), and in the village of Abashevo.

Currently, the rector of the church, Archpriest Oleg Rebishung, conducts services in the partially renovated lower church and has been engaged in the restoration of the church for over 15 years. In 2009, five consecrated bells, cast in the Urals, were installed in the bell tower located in the western part of the upper church.
