Suzun was founded in 1764 by the decree of Empress Catherine II for the construction of copper smelting and minting factories in the Kolyvano-Voskresensky factories system. It was located on the Lower Suzun River, 20 versts from the Malyshevskaya sloboda. The construction was large-scale for that time, involving many craftsmen from the Siberian kingdom and Russia, as well as hundreds of peasants. Alongside the factory, residential houses, streets, and squares were built. Among the known craftsmen were carpenters Martin, Ryabinov, Latnikov, and foremen Pyotr Krupennikov and Fyodor Panfilov.

In June 1765, a fire occurred at the unfinished mint, destroying almost all the buildings. The factory had to be rebuilt according to the project of architect V. Frolov, who also developed the church project. There are three versions regarding the time of the church's construction: the first claims that the temple was completed in 1765, the second in 1846, and the third in 1771. The church was wooden, single-altar, and consecrated in honor of the Ascension of the Lord.

There are reports that in 1766 the dam, factories, and church were consecrated, but there is no confirmation of this. The church was repeatedly rebuilt due to dilapidation and the growing number of parishioners. In 1765, 138 people worked at the factories, and a year later their number doubled. By 1770, more than 2000 people lived in Suzun, making the absence of a church unlikely.

The church quickly deteriorated due to the harsh climate. In 1810, lightning damaged the temple, and it was repaired. In 1816, the construction of a new stone church was discussed, but due to a lack of funds, the project was postponed. In 1844, the issue of repairs was raised again, and in 1846 a new wooden church was built.

In 1886, a project for a stone church was discussed, but it was not implemented. The first Soviet census in 1926 does not mention the church in Suzun. After the revolution, the temple was closed, and in 1937 its building was handed over to the trade union. Later, the church was dismantled, and a club was built in its place, which burned down in 1954.

The Suzun parish was restored in 1990. In 1997, the construction of a new church began, and it was consecrated in 2012. The first service in the new church took place in 2002. In 2006, a bell was raised to the bell tower and a cross was installed.
