Over 6,500 attendees at a New Year event packed Los Angeles’ Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall for Scientology’s New Year 2026 celebration—an evening that paired live performances with a headline presentation showcasing developments across the Church’s international network during 2025.
Beyond the festivities, the programme spotlighted the expansion year’s most visible themes: digital reach and online study, new premises and expansion plans, and the restoration of sites linked to Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. It also highlighted 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 are watched well beyond the United States.
