Following a period of dormancy and the loss of functioning governance, the Church was solemnly reconstituted in May 2025 through the Episcopal Restoration. This act reaffirmed the canonical succession of the Orthodox Church on EarthMC and re-established its synodal and spiritual governance.

The restoration was declared by the Episcopate with the sanction of King Tacitus, who holds the title of Patriarch Emeritus and Autokrator, and was confirmed by the election of His All-Holiness, Ecumenical Patriarch Feohtan, as head of the restored Church.
