The Izhma Transfiguration Church is located in the Izhma District of the Republic of Komi, historically situated in the Pechora County of the Arkhangelsk Province. The parish included the only settlement, the village of Izhma, and, according to tradition, was founded around 1560. In 1700, a severe fire in Izhma destroyed most of the houses, the church, and all its property and archives. In 1728, His Grace Varnaava permitted the construction of a new wooden church in the name of the Transfiguration of the Lord with an altar dedicated to the Prophet Elijah. This church was consecrated in 1774 but soon also burned down, although the church icon of the Transfiguration of the Lord survived. In 1773, the residents of Izhma erected a new church with the same altars. Due to the instability of the wooden structure, the parishioners obtained permission to build a stone two-story church, which was granted by His Grace Evlampiy in 1803 (or 1801). Construction continued until 1828. The main altar in the lower church was consecrated on November 29, 1821, and the altar in the upper church on November 22, 1828. In the refectory of the lower floor on the southern side, in 1884, thanks to the efforts of church warden Alexei Egorovich Filippov, an altar was arranged in the name of St. Panteleimon the Great Martyr, consecrated on June 2, 1885.

In 1880, thanks to the efforts of Father A. A. Ioilev, church warden A. E. Filippov, and the parishioners, both churches were almost completely renovated and restored to a splendid condition.

In early 1937, the Transfiguration Church was closed by the decision of the Executive Committee of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee on December 30, 1936, and repurposed as a warehouse for the Izhma village cooperative. It currently belongs to the diocese and is not in use.

In the 2010s, restoration of the church began.
