Over 6,500 Scientology attendees at a New Year event packed Los Angeles’ Shrine Auditorium for Scientology’s 2026 New Year celebration—an evening that paired live performances with a year-in-review presentation showcasing developments across the Church’s international network during 2025.
Not just a midnight celebration, the programme spotlighted the year’s most notable themes: digital expansion and online learning, new premises and expansion plans, and the preservation of sites linked to Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. It also featured drug prevention with Drug Free World, literacy and values-focused initiatives (TWTH) framed as community engagement in multiple regions.
For European readers, the story offers a clear window into how a global religious movement takes stock of its year—and why developments in digital access, facilities and community programmes are watched well beyond the United States.
