The older church at the site of the present day building was mentioned for the first time in 1695.[3] The description of the church from 1733 mentioned that the lower part of the wall was built of stone, while the rest of it was made of wood, covered with mud covered with oak shingles.[3] The building was consecrated by Nikanor Melentijević.[3] The modern day building was completed in the mid XVIII century and it was consecrated by Sofronije Jovanović.[3] Thirteen years after the new building was completed, there was six Eastern Orthodox priests at the church parish in Trpinja.[3] Parish center was built in 1908.[3] During World War II in Yugoslavia and the Genocide of Serbs in the Independent State of Croatia, the church was converted into a Roman Catholic church while the Đakovo-Osijek priest Stjepan Rade administered forced conversions.[3]
