One statistic that is telling and shows our growth in the last 60 years is the increase in the number of Churches and missions (this is the name for a smaller Church of Scientology which deliver services but cannot train ministers or Scientology counsellors) and groups. In 1990 we had 832 churches, missions and groups in 70 nations. As of 2013, this is now more than 11,000 Churches of Scientology, Missions and affiliated groups in 167 countries.

The numbers of people coming to our churches for their first Scientology services increased by a factor of four in the past year. In terms of accelerating expansion -- we have expanded more in the last 8 years than in the preceding 50 years combined.

One of our biggest social programs is our anti-drug campaigns to educate kids and adults alike to stay or become drug-free and to that end we have distributed cumulatively 56.4 million fliers and booklets with facts on drugs world-wide in the last 10 or so years.
