The first wooden church dedicated to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker existed in Korenskoe as early as the first half of the 18th century. Presumably, by the 1770s, a new wooden church in honor of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary with an altar dedicated to St. Nicholas was built, which lasted about a hundred years. Until the 1850s, the church had two priests, one deacon, two clerks, and two sextons, later reduced to one clerk and one sexton.

By the mid-19th century, the wooden church had deteriorated. Thanks to the efforts of parishioners and local landowners, brothers Fyodor and Sergey Shechkov, a new stone church in honor of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary was built by 1860, based on a project dated August 6, 1857, and it has survived to this day.

The church is built in the neo-Russian style from exposed brick. The main volume, an octagon on an octagon, is topped with a large tent roof with an onion dome. Low chapels adjoin it from the north and south, while square volumes of the altar and narthex are located to the west and east. The original plaster decoration and delicate polychromy of the wall paintings emphasized the lightness of the interior, accentuated by a marble iconostasis.

Located on the northern outskirts of the village, the church is a prominent feature in the surrounding panorama. The church had three altars: the main one in honor of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the northern one dedicated to St. Martyr Sophia, and the southern one to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. The clergy consisted of one priest, one deacon, and two psalmists.

For over three centuries, the parish of Korenskoe included the villages of Dugina, Kulemzina, Shchekino, Stremoukhovka, and Karykova Kamenka. In 1849, the parish had 193 households and 1,861 parishioners; by the 1870s, there were about 300 households and 2,500 parishioners, and in 1916, 510 households and 3,300 parishioners. In the second half of the 19th and early 20th centuries, the church owned 34 desyatinas of land and had church utensils and a library.

At the initiative of Priest Joakim Kalistratov, church-parish schools were opened: in 1886 in Korenskoe and in 1893 in Kulemzina. In the 1890s, the Korenskoe school was considered one of the best in the Kursk province. Among the teachers were Anastasia and Maria Kalistratova, Nikolai Pokrovsky, and Mikhail Rzhavsky.

By 1913, there were two church-parish schools and four zemstvo schools operating in Korenskoe, Dugina, Kulemzina, and Shchekino.

In the 1930s, the church was closed. Services resumed in March 1943 and continued until August 17, 1949. Church property was transferred to the Protection Church in the village of Bobrovo. The building was used as a collective farm warehouse and became dilapidated.

On February 19, 1992, the church building in Korenskoe was transferred to the Kursk-Belgorod Diocese. Since April 14, 2000, a parish of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary has been registered in the village. Services are held in a prayer house, which also houses a cell room, kitchen, and refectory.

Since October 2008, restoration of the church has begun thanks to Oleg Belashov and Alexey Shchelukonov. The southern chapel of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker has been recreated, the tents have been restored, and domes and crosses have been installed. The brickwork has been reinforced, roofing and facade finishing have been completed. In the future, there are plans to build a fence with a bell tower, utility and residential buildings, improve the territory, and arrange a spring in the village of Kamenka.
