NEW YEAR’S CELEBRATION
With the Shrine Auditorium packed to capacity, Scientologists closed the book on an unprecedented year, launching into a future of limitless horizons in 2024!
“We aren’t just toasting a year gone by. Rather, we are going to ignite solid rocket fuel and blow the roof right off this auditorium as we lift off into New Year’s 2024!” began Mr. David Miscavige, Chairman of the Board Religious Technology Center. With that, he launched into the celebration, presenting vivid stories of the Church’s explosive growth.
We looked back at four years of building a better world.

Bringing answers.
Spreading a smile.
Providing help and safeguarding communities.
Uplifting every corner of the world.
And while conflicting chatter and mixed signals lulled the world into believing they should
DO NOTHING
Our answer was to
Keeping the Bridge wide open, all the way to Total Freedom.
Nonstop.
Every day.
Everywhere.

ASCENDING THE BRIDGE TO
SPIRITUAL FREEDOM
The Advanced Organizations delivered on their sacred trust, guiding parishioners in their geographic zone on the journey to the highest levels in Scientology—and did so every single day of this decade.
ENLIGHTENING AND
UPLIFTING AUSTRALASIA
Standing amid 900 acres of protected natural forest, this oasis served as spiritual headquarters for Scientologists in the Asia-Pacific region—the most populated continental zone on Earth.
EXPERIENCING THE MAJESTY OF
CASTLE KYALAMI
On the continent where Man first stood and civilization took its earliest steps, Scientologists from Africa crossed the threshold to Scientology’s Advanced Levels.
ADVANCING AT SCIENTOLOGY’S
EUROPEAN GATEWAY
Established by L. Ron Hubbard in 1969, our Advanced Organization and Saint Hill Europe’s multilingual ministry welcomed Scientologists from across the European continent and as far away as the Middle East.
UNITING FOR TOTAL FREEDOM
IN THE UNITED KINGDOM
Scientologists from around the world came to make spiritual advancement at the Advanced Organization in the United Kingdom. Located on the grounds of Saint Hill, L. Ron Hubbard’s legendary home, it is the very site of his breakthrough discoveries that opened the upper reaches of the Bridge to Total Freedom.
ASCENDING THE BRIDGE
IN THE CITY OF ANGELS
L. Ron Hubbard Way, in the heart of Hollywood, California, where Scientologists ascended from introductory services to higher-level training and processing and all the way into the upper realms of spiritual awareness.
WELCOMING ALL TO THE CORNERSTONE OF
A BETTER WORLD
For Scientologists, Flag is the spiritual headquarters and the heart of Scientology. Last year, parishioners from nearly 70 nations entered its majesty and magnificence, advancing to higher states of existence.
SETTING SAIL TO
TOTAL FREEDOM
Sailing off the crossroads of the world, from stem to stern the Freewinds is the ultimate distraction-free environment where Scientologists navigated to the highest levels of spiritual freedom—with another attesting to New OT VIII every 8 hours.

And so, in 2024, the ribbons are set to start falling!
AUSTIN
Capital of the “Country of Texas”
The forthcoming Ideal Church of Scientology in Texas stands directly adjacent to the University of Texas. The 52,000-square-foot building is on Austin’s main social corridor, famously known as The Drag, where 70,000 pedestrians pass each day.
The ground level of the Lone Star State’s newest Ideal Org glows with floor-to-ceiling windows and will offer a friendly, Texas welcome to the more than 70,000 who stroll The Drag every day.
MEXICO CITY
“Church of the Valley”
In the largest Spanish-speaking city on Earth is the future Ideal Church of Scientology Del Valle. With a dramatic 12-story presence, in one of Mexico City’s most culturally vibrant neighborhoods, the new beacon of spiritual freedom can be seen a mile in every direction.
From its striking street-level entrance to its rooftop terrace, the Ideal Church of Scientology Del Valle will serve as a spiritual oasis in the heart of North America’s largest city.
CHICAGO
City of Big Shoulders
The cultural capital of the Midwest will soon claim a new Ideal Church of Scientology as its own. Proudly situated in the South Loop Printer’s Row, the historic seven-story Artcraft Building underwent a top-to-bottom restoration, preserving the past for future generations.
Dating back to 1915, the landmark Artcraft Building is part of historic Printer’s Row. After the Church acquired the property, it underwent a 26,000-man-hour, top-to-bottom restoration.
