A year-end crowd of more than 6,500 guests packed Los Angeles’ historic Shrine Auditorium for Scientology’s 2026 New Year celebration—an evening that social programs paired live performances with a highlights presentation tracking developments across the Church’s international network during 2025.
Beyond the festivities, the programme spotlighted the year’s most notable themes: growth in digital access and online courses, new premises and expansion plans, and the opening of sites linked to Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. It also highlighted drug prevention with Drug Free World, literacy and values-focused initiatives (TWTH) framed as community engagement in multiple regions.
For European readers, the story offers a clear window into how a global religious movement takes stock of its year—and why developments in digital access, facilities and community programmes are watched well beyond the United States.
