The stone church in honor of Saint John Chrysostom in the village of Dolgie was laid on August 29, 1893, with funds from the parishioners. In July 1903, the holy righteous father John of Kronstadt donated 100 rubles. The construction was completed in 1903, and the consecration took place on November 10 of the same year. One of the participants in the consecration described the church as "magnificent, spacious, bright, with elegant paintings and a worthy, albeit inexpensive, interior."

Initially, the church was affiliated with the Nativity of Christ Church in the village of Chastozer'ye, whose priest and psalmist lived in Dolgie. In 1890, the parishioners built a house for the psalmist, and in 1903, a comfortable and spacious six-room house for the priest. Both houses were wooden and located on church land, being the property of the church.

In 1909, a dedicated clergy staff was established at the church, consisting of a priest and a psalmist. In 1913, a fence was built around the church.

In 1935, the Presidium of the Chelyabinsk Regional Executive Committee decided to remove the bells from the church, as it had not been functioning for three years. The bells were transferred to the regional scrap metal office, and a collective farm club was set up in the church building. As a result of Soviet use, only the lower walls remained of the church, and it fell into a state of disrepair.

In 2018, restoration work began on the church. Soon, the partially destroyed building, having lost the features of an Orthodox church, regained almost its original appearance.
