Dothan has always been a city that holds its places of worship and their activities in high regard. The community is home to more than 140 churches representing 25 denominations.

While these worship centers each minister to their congregations as a whole, special interest groups are served by a number of programs. Outreach projects exist for the elderly and underprivileged. Several churches also operate excellent kindergartens and daycare centers.

Our churches, synagogues and mosque serve as centers where newcomers can meet and socialize with residents. Local churches often partner with civic and social organizations (more than 150 in the area) to serve the interests of the community. They sponsor youth camps, Scout troops, softball and baseball leagues, singles groups, and programs for the handicapped.
