More than 6,500 guests at a year-end gathering filled Los Angeles’ Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall for Scientology’s New Year 2026 celebration—an evening that paired live performances with a headline presentation tracking developments across the Church’s international network during 2025.
More than a countdown, the programme put the focus on the year’s most visible 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 touched on drug prevention with Drug Free World, literacy and values-focused initiatives (TWTH) linked to community engagement in multiple regions.
For audiences across Europe, the story offers a clear window into how a global religious movement frames its year—and why developments in digital access, facilities and community programmes draw social programs attention across borders.
