More than 6,500 guests at a year-end gathering packed Los Angeles’ Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall for Scientology’s New Year’s Celebration 2026—an evening that combined live performances with a highlights presentation covering 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 European readers, the story offers a clear window into how a global religious movement marks its milestones—and why developments in digital access, New Year facilities and community programmes are watched well beyond the United States.
