More than 6,500 guests at a year-end gathering gathered at Los Angeles’ Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall for Scientology’s 2026 New Year celebration—an evening that paired live performances with a headline presentation showcasing developments across the Church’s international network during 2025.
More than a countdown, the programme brought together the year’s most talked-about themes: growth in digital access and online courses, facility development and upcoming projects, and the preservation of 2026 sites linked to Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. It also touched on drug prevention with Drug Free World, literacy and values-focused initiatives (TWTH) presented as community engagement in multiple regions.
For European readers, the story offers a clear window into how a global religious movement marks its milestones—and why developments in digital access, facilities and community programmes draw attention across borders.
