In 1722, Archbishop Antoniy of Tobolsk consecrated the church in Brusnyany, dedicated to the Ascension of the Lord. The first church in the village was wooden and was built with the funds of the parishioners. By the beginning of the 19th century, the building, made of logs and clad in boards, had deteriorated significantly, but services continued. The church had all the necessary utensils: silver and tin vessels, Gospels in copper bindings with enamel, silver and copper crosses. The icons were adorned with copper and gilded vestments. The bell tower had six bells weighing a total of 62 poods and 10 pounds. No later than 1809, the construction of a stone church began. In 1809, the walls of the new church were raised above the windows, and in 1819, the chapel in honor of the Ascension of the Lord was consecrated. In 1824, another chapel was consecrated in the name of Simeon the God-receiver and Anna the Prophetess.

In 1838, the bell tower was rebuilt, and the southern chapel was repaired and expanded with the funds of peasant Simeon Raskovalov. He and his son Nikolai made a significant contribution to the acquisition of church utensils and bells. In 1840, the southern chapel was consecrated again. According to Nikolai Raskovalov's will, the construction of a new stone fence began in 1858 and was completed in 1861. From 1865 to 1867, the church was reconstructed: the cold chapel was connected by an arch to the warm one, and the building was fully heated. In 1873, the church was renovated externally. At the end of the 19th century, the bell tower deteriorated, and a temporary wooden bell tower was built. In 1915, the parish of the Ascension Church included the villages of Gileva, Chernobrovkina, and Kolyutkina with 4,228 parishioners. The parish had three chapels: the Simeon chapel at the cemetery, in Chernobrovkina, and Kolyutkina. In the village of Gileva, around 1895, a church parish school opened, and a home school operated in Kolyutkina. The church owned 600 square fathoms of homestead land, five desyatinas of arable land, and 25 desyatinas of hayfield. In 1910, the construction of a new stone church began, but it was delayed. After the 1917 revolution, persecution of religion began.

In the early 1920s, many churches were nationalized, and church valuables were confiscated. In 1922, 1 pood and 3 pounds of silver were seized from the Ascension Church. In 1924, the community attempted to complete the construction of the new church, but the authorities refused, planning to use the building for public needs. All appeals from the community were unsuccessful, and in 1927, it was proposed to dismantle the unfinished church for the construction of an outpatient clinic. In 1929, a campaign to close the church began. In 1930, a decision was made to close the church and liquidate its property. However, at the end of that year, the building was returned to the believers. The date of the church's final closure is not specified in archival sources.
