In 1901, a church was built in honor of St. Paraskeva on the high bank of the River Omi in the Slobodskoy suburb, funded by the widow of merchant Paraskeva Pamfilievna Shkroeva. Paraskeva Shkroeva came from a family of Siberian merchants. The Shkroevs owned a house on Lyubinsky Avenue (now 17 Lenin Street), and in 1909, Nikolai Vasilyevich Shkroev owned a plot at the corner of Nadezhdinskaya Street and Sennaya Square. The Shkroev surname is often mentioned in the documents of the Spiritual Consistory. For example, in 1900, merchant's wife Alexandra Ivanovna Shkroeva donated 250 rubles for the construction of a church in the Pokrovsky settlement of the Omsk stanitsa and district to replace one that had burned down.

With the funds from Paraskeva Shkroeva, a school, a charitable institution with the church of St. Stephen Savvaite, attached to the Paraskeva church, and a house for the priest of the Paraskeva church were also built in the city. Paraskeva Pamfilievna passed away in January 1907 and was buried in the grounds of the church built with her funds.

The street leading from the Paraskeva church to the All Saints church at the Cossack cemetery was called Shkroevskaya, as the Shkroev family made a significant contribution to the development of Omsk. For instance, in 1896, the All Saints cemetery church was expanded, and a bell tower was built with funds from merchant G. V. Shkroev. Paraskeva Pamfilievna dedicated her last years to charity.

The design of the Paraskeva church was based on drawings from the album "Atlas of Plans and Facades of Churches..." from 1899. The church was consecrated in 1901, but soon became cramped for all the parishioners, numbering 836 men and 953 women. In 1907, fundraising for its expansion began. In 1907, the Spiritual Consistory approved the expansion, and in 1911, a new reconstruction was discussed. The final appearance of the church was created by engineer A. V. Popov and the Kuznetsov brothers. A photograph from 1911, stored in the Omsk State Historical and Local Lore Museum, shows the building's appearance after reconstruction.

In the early 1910s, the parish population consisted of 1788 Orthodox Christians, as well as 54 Baptists, 31 Molokans, 22 Catholics, 19 Lutherans, 18 Muslims, and 39 Jews. The parish recorded up to 354 baptisms, 42 marriages, and 335 burials per year. The church parish guardianship was established in December 1906, and the church school was named "Shkroevskaya." The school educated up to 70 boys, and the priest lived in a house built by P. P. Shkroeva.

In 1912, the church clergy consisted of priest Alexei Livanov and psalmist Alexander Mikhailov. Livanov was transferred to the Nikolskaya Cossack church, and his place was taken by Nikolai Zelentsov. Later, in 1912, Nikolai Savkin became the rector, serving until 1930.

The parish participated in the events of February 1918, protesting against the decree on the separation of church and state. Rector Peter Savkin was arrested. In 1919, the parish collected 12,000 rubles for gifts to the White Army. Statistics from 1926-1928 show a decline in the number of parishioners, but the data is questionable. In 1930, the church's library was confiscated, and between 1936 and 1938, the number of parishioners increased due to the closure of other churches. In 1939, the church was closed and the building was repurposed for cultural purposes.

In 1944, believers unsuccessfully attempted to reopen the church. From 1943, the building housed a training workshop for the blind society, and later, a club and library. In 1989, the building was recognized as an architectural monument, and in 1990, it was transferred to the Omsk-Tarsk Diocese. The church was restored according to modern restoration principles, and it is now a parish church.
