The first mentions of the Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross date back to the 20th century. According to legend, a peasant had a dream in which St. Sergius of Radonezh indicated a place for the construction of the church. Many benefactors participated in the construction of the temple. Peasant P. S. Bezmaternykh organized brick production specifically for the building. The walls were erected using a limestone mortar with added egg whites, for which eggs were collected from the villages. Wealthy peasants generously donated funds: a resident of the village of Verkhnee Yegorovo, Pyotr Danilovich Gilev, donated one and a half thousand rubles for the wall painting, Ivan Semyonovich Bezmaternykh from the village of Govyrino purchased a large iconostasis, and his brother Pyotr Semyonovich bought a chandelier. Savely Vasilyevich Vshivkov from the village of Sopeni donated a bell weighing 60 poods. Less affluent residents donated smaller bells and other church items.

The church was consecrated in February 1906. The parish had 2,164 parishioners from the villages of Govyrino and Voroby, as well as from the villages of the Voroby volost. Three zemstvo schools operated in the parish.

The first priest in February 1906 was Ioann Ladyzhnikov, and he was replaced by Pyotr Semyonovich Konyukhov in October 1906. During the period of collectivization, the church continued to receive parishioners.

In 1933, the authorities removed the bells from the church. In September 1941, local authorities planned to close the church and convert the building into a club, but the regional executive committee did not approve this decision. It is known that during the Great Patriotic War, the church remained active. In 1947, believers appealed to the authorities to reopen the church, which had likely been closed by that time. On June 23, 1947, the church council of the Exaltation community was registered. However, the church did not operate for long. By the decree of the Council for the Affairs of the Russian Orthodox Church on May 30, 1960, the church was closed, and the building was used as a grain storage facility. The revival of the church began thirty years later. In 1995, it was transferred to the Orthodox Church. At the initiative of Archimandrite Stefan, the abbot of the Holy Trinity Stefanov Monastery, a monastery skete was opened here. The restoration of the church and the establishment of the farm was undertaken by Hieromonk Gerasim.

The consecration of the church took place on September 27, 1995, conducted by the abbot of the Perm Holy Trinity Stefanov Monastery, Igumen Stefan Seksyayev.
