DAVID MISCAVIGE:
AT THE HELM IN THE ERA OF EXPANSION
A worldwide religious community spanning over 170 nations, Scientology is growing faster today than at any time in its history.
To meet the skyrocketing demand for Dianetics and Scientology services and Social Betterment programs throughout the world, and utilizing the technological advances of the 21st century, Mr. Miscavige launched the Ideal Org (short for Organization) strategy to transform all Scientology Churches into Ideal Churches and accomplish the goal L. Ron Hubbard set for Scientologists—to one day create Churches that were the physical embodiment of Scientology Technology to help all beings attain spiritual freedom.
Ideal Church Organizations not only provide the ideal facilities to service Scientologists on their ascent to greater states of spiritual awareness and freedom, but are also designed to serve as a home for the entire community and a meeting ground for cooperative efforts to uplift citizens of all denominations. Ideal encompasses both the physical facilities and the types of services ministered to parishioners and the community. These Churches house extensive public information multimedia displays describing all aspects of Dianetics and Scientology, Founder L. Ron Hubbard and the Church’s Social Betterment and community outreach programs.
Religious services are provided in distraction-free and aesthetic course rooms and spiritual counseling rooms. There are also libraries, bookstores, film and seminar rooms and expansive Chapels for Sunday Services, weddings, naming ceremonies and other congregational gatherings.
Since 2003, over 70 Ideal Churches have arisen across the planet, including those in the world’s cultural capitals—the Church of Scientology and Celebrity Centre Grand Paris, just steps away from the Stade de France, the national stadium; the Church of Scientology of New York, just off Times Square; the Church of Scientology of London, located in the epicenter of the city; the Church of Scientology of San Francisco in the original historic Transamerica Building; the National Church of Scientology of Spain in Madrid’s Neighborhood of Letters; and the Church of Scientology of Berlin, near the Brandenburg Gate. Ideal Churches of Scientology also stand at international cultural crossroads from Tokyo to Rome and from Dublin to Washington, DC. New Ideal Churches now regularly open their doors in city after city, driving forward an era of unprecedented global expansion.
