Anna Danilovna Sharavina, the granddaughter of Fyodor Yakovlevich Mezentsev, who participated in the construction of the Ascension Church, recalled: "Grandfather did not tell many details, but I remember that Berezovka was located in a damp, marshy place. At the site where they decided to build the church, there was a spring, and an icon of the Most Holy Theotokos appeared there. This became a sign that there should be an Orthodox church here. They began to dig ditches for drainage. I remember that there was a brick fence around the church, and there were no houses nearby. A field of rye surrounded the church. Later, houses began to be built around the temple, and it ended up in the center of the village."

In 1805, permission was granted to build a stone church in the village of Berezovka. That year, 300,000 bricks were ordered for construction. The construction lasted five years, as stone churches were built to last for centuries, making them reliable and beautiful, like a business card of the village.

The stone church in the village of Berezovka was located in the center. Nearby was the volost administration, and across the road was a large trading square, where people from all around gathered for markets and fairs. Berezovka was famous in the district and province for its developed trade. The well-known Goroblagodatsky trade route from Kungur to the factories of Sverdlovsk passed by the church.

The church was built for five years and in 1811 the left chapel was consecrated in the name of St. Basil the Great. The iconostasis from the old wooden church was moved there, adding new carvings and installing the Royal Gates. In 1820, the altar of the main chapel was consecrated, and the iconostasis was also moved from the old church. In 1826, the Prophet Elijah chapel was consecrated with a new iconostasis. In 1827, the iconostasis in the Basil chapel was repainted and the carvings were gilded again. In 1849, a new iconostasis was made in the new chapel for 2,300 rubles in silver, and the stone floor was replaced with cast iron. In 1865, a new iconostasis was installed in the Elijah chapel.

In July 1887, a fire occurred in the Ascension Church, the causes of which have not been preserved. The fire caused significant damage: the roof and domes burned, the roof, spire, and stairs to the bell tower were destroyed, and the walls were seriously damaged. That same year, a small repair was carried out. The parishioners and clergy did not want to put up with such a state of the church and turned to architect A.B. Turchevich, who developed a project for the restoration and expansion of the church. The work cost 24,000 rubles in silver. 2,572 rubles were spent on new church utensils, and 7,500 rubles on iconostases and icons. The church was surrounded by a fence with iron grilles and a beautiful arch at the entrance, which were later destroyed after the church was closed.

Before the fire, there were 9 bells in the church. The largest weighed 302 poods and was purchased in 1843 for 3,650 rubles. During the fire, it and some smaller bells melted, but they were recast anew. The broken bell was exchanged for a new one weighing 439 poods, with an additional payment of 4,391 rubles and 40 kopecks.

The church housed ancient books, such as the life of St. Dmitry of Rostov from 1664, a collection of teachings from 1776, a Bible in 5 volumes from 1778, and the Passion Gospel from 1763.

The Ascension Church was associated with 5 wooden chapels in the villages of Zernino, Karnaukovo, Saya, Froly, and Shakvinsky Plant, built with the funds of parishioners. In total, the parish included 38 villages at a distance of 1 to 20 versts. In 1896, the parish had 7,839 residents.

Before the railway was laid from Perm to Yekaterinburg and the separation of the Yekaterinburg diocese, the village of Berezovka and the church were often visited by diocesan bishops. In 1889 and 1891, Bishop Vladimir visited here, and on June 17, 1894, the consecration of the chapel in the name of St. Elijah was conducted by Bishop Peter.

During the existence of the church, many clergymen served there, distinguished by their responsibility and reverence. Unfortunately, the names of the first clergymen have not been preserved, but it is known that in the early 19th century there were four clergy positions. At different times, Fyodor Konyukhov, Vasily Protopopov, Stefan Nechaev, brothers Evgeny and Makariy Arkhangelskiy, and others served. Andrey Korovin served for 45 years. From 1901 to 1908, Nikolai Kudryavtsev and Vasily Pokrovsky served. From 1918, Konstantin Vysotsky, Vladimir Antipin, Konstantin Andreev, Anatoly Kiselev, and Nikolai Busygin served. The last ministers were Mikhail Kryuchkov, Pavel Dukhonin, and Alexander Shilov.
