The wooden church in the village was built with the care of the parishioners in 1778 (here and further data from 1848). In it there was one throne-in the name of the Archangel Michael. The priest lived in a wooden house erected by the parishioners, and the deacon and acolytes had their own wooden houses on the church land. The nearest Ascension Church in Golovkino village was about 5 km away. In the Mikhailo-Archangel Church, copies of metrical books were kept from 1780, and confessional paintings from 1829. The post of priest was performed by Peter Konstantinov Yakhontov, who was ordained to this church by Archbishop Anatoly in May 1840. It is interesting that by the decree of the Simbirsk Ecclesiastical Consistory of June 37, 1846, five peasants of the Naumov landlords converted from the schism of the Saviour's Consent to Orthodoxy, he was declared a sincere archpastoral gratitude. The deacon since 1844 was Kozma Gerasimov of Arkhangelsk, who had previously served in Attics for 3 years. The sexton was Nikolai Platonov â€“ he stayed in Kremenki the longest
