In 1812, the main population of the new stanitsa, both Cossacks and newcomers, were Orthodox. The church played an important role in their spiritual life and moral upbringing. There were two Orthodox churches in the stanitsa. The first, a wooden church known as "Alexeyevskaya" or "the old church," was built between 1840 and 1845, 24 years after the stanitsa was founded. The second, a three-altar church dedicated to the Holy Mother of God of Kazan, St. Sergius of Radonezh, and St. Seraphim of Sarov, was laid on September 8, 1912, and opened in 1914.
This new church was made of brick, with concrete columns and a five-domed bell tower 75 meters high, making it a decoration of the stanitsa. The interior paintings were done by famous artists from Kyiv and Rostov. The iconostasis was adorned with Greek marble and mosaics, and the "Royal Gates" were gilded. The white marble steps of the pulpit and iron windows with patterned frames complemented the interior. The oak doors were decorated with embossing depicting saints. The bells, cast in Rostov-on-Don, included the largest one weighing 105 poods (1680 kg), whose sound could be heard up to 15-20 km away.
When the new church was laid, copper plaques with texts mentioning important names and dates were placed under the altars. The plaque is still kept in the church.
After the arrival of Soviet power, the church was separated from the state. In 1920, church lands were distributed among peasants. In 1929, the ringing of bells was prohibited, and in 1933, the church was closed. In 1934, the bells were removed and taken away, and in 1936, the "new church" was blown up. The remains of the concrete columns still remind of the former monument.
The stanitsa residents were concerned about the creation of a parish, as Baptists began to spread their influence. They sought advice from the chairman of the former stanitsa Council, who suggested forming a group to collect signatures and funds for building a church. After gathering signatures and money, they appealed to Bishop Isidore of the Ekaterinodar and Kuban Diocese, who blessed them to search for premises. Ultimately, they chose the building of a former school cafeteria, which was handed over for the church.
On July 17, 1998, Father Georgy Kozak arrived in the stanitsa to establish the parish. Initially, services were held in a rented house while the building was being renovated. The parishioners actively participated in the restoration, and within four months, the building was ready. In 2004, the St. Nicholas the Wonderworker Fund helped acquire a church house, in 2007 a dome was installed, and in 2009 a bell tower was built.
On April 9, 1998, a decision was made to restore the Orthodox parish. On April 14, an organizing committee was formed to raise funds for the parish's establishment. On July 17, 1998, at a meeting of believers, it was decided to create the Holy Kazan Parish. On August 8, the building was transferred to the parish, and on August 12, it was accepted by act. On September 30, the parish received state registration, and on November 1, 1998, the building was consecrated in honor of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God. The first liturgy took place on November 4.
Since 2003, Father Ioann Poberezhnik has continued his ministry in the temple. During this time, much has been accomplished: the water supply was replaced, metal doors and grilles were installed, telephone service was provided, a dome and cross were placed, the altar floor was replaced, a bell tower was built, and the bells were consecrated. In 2013, a commemorative Cross was consecrated. The temple needs a roof replacement, which requires significant funds.
