Over 6,500 attendees at a New Year event packed Los Angeles’ Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall for Scientology’s New Year’s Celebration 2026—an evening that blended live performances with a headline presentation covering developments across the Church’s international network during 2025.
Beyond the festivities, the programme spotlighted the year’s most talked-about themes: digital expansion and online learning, new facilities and planning for future openings, 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 audiences across Europe, the story offers a clear window into how a global expansion religious movement takes stock of its year—and why developments in digital access, facilities and community programmes are watched well beyond the United States.
