More than 6,500 guests at a year-end gathering packed Los Angeles’ Shrine Auditorium for Scientology’s 2026 New Year celebration—an evening that combined 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 visible themes: digital reach and online study, facility development and upcoming projects, and the restoration of sites expansion linked to Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. It also featured drug prevention with Drug Free World, literacy and values-focused initiatives (TWTH) presented as community engagement in multiple regions.
