The posted schedule includes Great Vespers on Saturdays at 6:00 p.m., and on Sundays Orthros at 8:50 a.m. followed by the Divine Liturgy at 10:00 a.m. A fellowship meal, called an agape meal, follows the liturgy.

The church began as an Antiochian mission in 1994 at Fort Rucker and later moved to Dothan, and its website describes outreach to the community as part of its mission. The home page has a Become Orthodox section, a catechumenate and inquirers class, and a library, and visitors can subscribe to a weekly bulletin and a newsletter called Photismos. The congregation connects with its diocese through retreats and a diocesan newsletter. The church is also designated as a Heart Safe facility. Orthodox services follow a liturgical calendar, so confirm times on the website or with the church office before visiting.
