The parish was founded no later than the mid-17th century. The 1647 census book of the Solvychegodsky district mentions the Loyma pogost in the Luskaya volost of the Perm region on the river Luza. There were two churches on the pogost: the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary and a warm church of St. Athanasius of Alexandria.

Living on the church land were: priest Ignaty Dmitrievich Popov with his children Afonka and Matyushka, aged ten; deacon Denis Andronovich Popov with his son Mikifor; sexton Grishka Borisov, nicknamed Syudkin, with his son Stenka; prosphora baker Marfitza Yakovlevna, wife of Raskin, with her son Kuzemka Yakovlev; and the poor widow Varvarka Vasilyevna.

Later, the Loyma volost was formed, which was initially attached to the abolished Lalsky district in 1797, and then to the Ust-Sysolsky district.

In 1788, the parish had 828 people, and in 1868, 1410.

The Church in honor of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary in the Loyma volost of the Solvychegodsky district is mentioned in the revenue book of monasteries and churches of the Veliky Ustyug diocese from 1755.

The Assumption Church was built in 1802 and consecrated in 1807. It is a stone, one-story, cold church with a warm chapel and a stone bell tower. The altars were consecrated in honor of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and St. Athanasius and St. Cyril of Alexandria, the Miracle Workers.

From 1882 to 1884, a new stone, one-story church was built, warm with a cold section in one building, with a bell tower above the porch. The altars: in the cold part, in honor of the Assumption of the Mother of God, consecrated on October 4, 1893, on the previous holy antimins; in the warm part, on the southern side, in honor of the icon of the Mother of God.

An inscription on the church wall states that the temple was built in 1882-1884 with funds from the parishioners. It was decorated with paintings funded by the church-parish guardianship during the reign of Emperor Nicholas II under the bishops of Vologda and Totma, Alexander, and Veliky Ustyug, Alexy, with parish priest Avenir Baklanovsky in 1915.

The attached Chitaevskaya church, consecrated in honor of St. Demetrius of Thessalonica, was consecrated on March 4, 1914.

In 1929, the last priest, Father Avenir Baklanovsky, was arrested for the first time. During his arrest, the church was first looted, and the ancient cemetery in front of it was destroyed, motivated by a lack of land for potato planting. People were offered to re-bury the deceased in cemeteries in nearby villages or in a new cemetery, but no one agreed. Soon the mortuary hut was demolished, wooden crosses were burned, cast-iron gravestones were sent for melting, and stones were moved to the edge of the cemetery.

In 1933, the Renovationists tried to seize the church from the Church, but unsuccessfully. On November 1, 1935, citing that the church had not been used for five years, it was closed, desecrated, and looted. The bells were thrown down and taken away. For a long time, the church building housed a grain warehouse, a glass collection point, but the iconostasis, bell tower, and domes were preserved. Parts of the iconostasis and vestments were used in the club as theatrical props.

In the early 1960s, after a fire in the club located in the former priest's house, it was decided to set up a new club in the church. At that time, the domes were demolished, the bell tower was blown up, the iconostasis was destroyed, and the interior space was mutilated, with new doors being cut through. The central volume of the cold church was divided into two floors, but the second floor was never used.

Since 1990, slow restoration has been underway. In 2010, domes were installed, roughly imitating the ancient five-domed structure.
