In 1729, a wooden church was built in Sotma. On December 11, 1800, its parishioners appealed to Emperor Paul Petrovich with a request to construct a stone church. They stated that although the wooden church was not old, they wanted to build a new one. They had the funds for this, and the parishioners promised to contribute the missing amount.

The parish had more than forty households, a sufficient number of parishioners, and funds for construction, so permission was granted on November 14, 1801. The resolution included a plan and facade, as well as instructions to rewrite and relocate all the utensils from the wooden church to a suitable place and to enclose the cemetery with a fence.

The work progressed slowly. It was not immediately decided where to hold services during the construction. Parishioners could be directed to the Resurrection Church in Akakiyev Monastery, but in spring and autumn, the Sotma River flooded, making crossing difficult. The road to Kuzmitsino was more acceptable but was located four versts from the Resurrection Church. Ultimately, they chose Akakiyev Monastery, where Elder Akaki founded a monastery in 1647, which became a parish church in 1764.

The wooden church began to be dismantled in April 1804, completing the work in September. A report was sent to the Yaroslavl Spiritual Consistory listing everything that was moved to Akakiyev Monastery, noting that there were no holy relics in the church.

In the spring of 1814, a petition was submitted for the consecration of the new church. It was reported that it was decorated and ready for worship. The church was covered with shingles, and the domes and crosses were clad in white tin. The description of the decor mentioned images of the Resurrection of Christ and the Georgian Mother of God.

Previously, there was a cemetery around the church, but in the 1950s-60s, it was dug up for greenhouses. Now the slope of the hill on which the church stands is covered with greenery. In the altar, there are boxes with remains found during the clearing of the floor.

The fate of the Church of the Resurrection of Christ is similar to that of many temples. In 1923, the bells were removed, and in 1943, it was closed and used as a hay storage. The collective farm's economy declined, residents moved away, and the church was left abandoned. Over time, it was looted, and a hole formed in the roof. In the early 2000s, restoration began: the hole was bricked up with bricks donated by the Norsky Brick Factory. Dacha owners visiting the area also helped. Fyodor Petrovich Trofimov and his son Yevgeny Fyodorovich began the church's rescue, joined by Veniamin Vasilyevich Zhukov. They closed the entrance, reinforced the windows, and cleared the debris.

In August 2007, with the blessing of the dean of the Gavrilov-Yam district, Priest Andrey Savenkov, the first service was held. A year later, former bell ringer of the Fyodorovsky Cathedral, Alexander Ivanovich Palagin, announced the start of worship by striking oxygen cylinders donated by the Yaroslavl Oxygen Plant. Once, the sound of six bells from the Resurrection Church could be heard in Semibratovo.
