In 1686, according to the church foundation charter of Bishop Ion, a pogost was established at the site of the present village with a wooden church dedicated to Saint Basil the Great, the Bishop of Caesarea, a well-known theologian and Christian figure of the early era. The village was named Vasilyevskoye.

By June 25, 1694, there was already a wooden Vasilyevskaya church in the village, and the village itself was called Malaya Suna. In 1725, the Most Reverend Alexius issued a church foundation charter for the construction of a new wooden church to replace the old Vasilyevskaya. In 1774, the Most Reverend Bartholomew issued a charter for the construction of a stone church in honor of the Resurrection of the Lord with chapels of Saint Basil the Great and Saint Artemius of Verkola the Miracle Worker.

The construction of the stone church began in 1777 and was completed in 1779 in the popular "Ustyug style" of that time. The bell tower remained wooden until the end of the 18th century. In May 1798, the first Vyatka provincial architect F.M. Roslyakov developed a project for a stone bell tower, and the construction work was completed by master Ignat Krivoshein in 1804. In 1832, the bell tower was connected to the warm church by adding two tents.

The history of the church is linked to the names of the first and last provincial architects, including I.A. Charushin, who in 1898 worked on the documentation for the expansion of the refectory of the Resurrection church. In 1902-1904, the warm church with the Vasilyevsky and Artemievsky chapels was rebuilt.

On July 25, 1878, in the village of Malaya Suna, Bishop Apollos instructed the priests to simplify their teachings, making the truths of faith more accessible to the people, and offered a brief explanation of the sacrament of the Eucharist. He visited Malaya Suna from the village of Verkhosunya, inspected the church, its relics, and the parish cemetery.

The church is in the process of restoration. On May 6, 2004, the restoring Resurrection church was visited by Metropolitan Chrisanth.
