In 1835, thanks to the efforts of the parishioners, a stone church with a stone bell tower covered with iron was built. The area of the church was 252 sq. m. The parishioners of the church, located a verst from the district town of Suja, were residents of the Goncharovka settlement, where by 1890 there were 697 men and 703 women, and by 1898, 720 men and 680 women. In 1903, the parish included not only the Goncharovka settlement but also the Poplyuevsky and Bardakovsky farms. These localities had 147 peasant and 13 non-peasant households. According to the clerical record of 1916, the parishioners were only the residents of the Goncharovka settlement: 780 men and 667 women, including 15 men and 18 women of the clergy, 104 military personnel, 76 men and 55 women of the merchant class, as well as 585 men and 494 women peasants. There were 174 houses in the settlement. The nearest churches to the Nativity of Christ Church were the Trinity Church in Suja and the Ilyinskaya Church in the Zaoleshki settlement.

The church in the Goncharovka settlement had 1200 sq. fathoms of homestead land along with the burial ground and 33 desyatinas of arable land, of which 15 desyatinas were unsuitable for cultivation. In 1890, a primary public school opened at the church, and in 1916, a church-parish school was mentioned in a separate building with accommodation for a caretaker, where 30 boys were educated. From 1916, the head and religious instructor of the school was Priest Alexey Petrovich Vinogradsky, who also taught in the Goncharovka district schools.

According to the "Inventory of Church Property" from 1920, the church building had a cross-shaped form, measuring 35 arshins in length and 25 arshins in width. There was a stone bell tower with five bells, the largest of which weighed 101 poods. Surrounding the church was a stone fence with two iron gates and a wicket gate. Within the fence was a stone watchman's lodge, where parishioners warmed themselves in winter. The church had three altars: the central one in honor of the Nativity of Christ, to the right, the Nativity of the Most Holy Theotokos, and to the left, the Kazan Mother of God. All the altars and altarpieces were wooden. The interior decoration of the church included oil painting, frescoes, and pictorial representations. The iconostases were three-tiered, wooden, with gilded carvings. The church housed 51 icons, of which 2 were in silver robes, 3 in metal, 7 in foil, and 39 painted. There were also 75 portable icons, 10 of which were in metal robes.

According to the decree of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee dated February 23, 1922, 18 pounds and 33 gold rubles of silver were confiscated from the church. In 1924, the religious society of the Nativity of Christ Church was re-registered. In 1940, the church was closed, but services resumed during the Great Patriotic War. In 1944, a religious association with 700 believers was registered. In 1945, the church community was given the watchman's lodge, which had previously housed the school. In 1948, the church was included in the list of architectural monuments, but in 1949 it was removed from the register. In 1951, the building was used as a warehouse.

In the 1960s, the unification of parishes was discussed, but no decision was made. In 1963, the church was planned to be closed, but it remained active until 1970. In 1975, it was included in the list of inactive churches. In 1990, the charter of the religious association was registered, and in 1999, the religious organization. In 1998, the ensemble of the church was recognized as a monument of cult architecture of regional significance.
