The parish in the village of Sada was founded in 1767. The Vyatka Spiritual Consistory issued a decree for the construction of the church on March 14, 1768. A wooden church with two chapels was built in 1769. The first chapel was consecrated on November 8, 1769, in honor of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul. The main altar was consecrated in honor of the Protection of the Holy Virgin on January 29, 1780, and the second chapel, in honor of Saint Basil the Great, on January 29, 1791. All these altars were destroyed on November 8, 1829, and the church was dismantled.

In 1822, the construction of a stone church began on the site of the dilapidated wooden church, which was completed in 1829. The stone church was built with the funds of the parishioners and had two chapels. The right chapel of the warm church was consecrated on November 9, 1829, in honor of the Protection of the Holy Virgin, and the left chapel, on September 30, 1833, in honor of Saint Basil the Great. The cold church was consecrated on November 11, 1839, in honor of the Ascension of the Lord. In 1879, the cold church was expanded with two side chapels: on the right side, one was consecrated in honor of Saint Great Martyr Panteleimon, and on the left side, although an iconostasis was installed, the consecration did not take place by 1913.

In 1906, the warm church was dismantled, and both altars, the Protection and Basil altars, were abolished. However, the warm church was rebuilt and expanded, with a new cave church with one altar constructed on the northern side, consecrated on November 3, 1908, in honor of the Holy Martyrs Theodore and Lavr.

In 1831, the parish included the village of Sada and several villages and settlements, including Knyazevskaya, Yusovskaya, Bolokhinskaya, and others.

In 1851, a cemetery chapel was built in the village, and on April 9, 1868, a church-parish guardianship was established at the church. In 1893, a church-parish school opened.

The Ascension Church ceased its activities in 1940, but in April 1948, the religious community was re-registered, and the church building with its property was handed over to the believers. At the beginning of 1953, the church's activities ceased again, but resumed in 1955. In 1959, the building was transferred for the needs of a children's home. In 1975, by the decision of the Yarsky District Executive Committee, the church building was placed under state protection as a monument of history and culture of the 19th century.
