On Sunday, March 19 of its newest church. Located adjacent to the North Hollywood junction of Burbank and Lankershim Boulevards, the Valley Church is the most expansive addition to Scientology’s expanding universe of Ideal Churches, now numbering 19 in the Western United States and 57 internationally.
About 5,000 Scientologists attended the ceremony.
For the Valley congregation, the facility’s impact extends from helping a migrant child bridge the gap in her schooling with Study Technology to helping tens of thousands of local youth take a pledge to be drug-free. The grand opening gave the Valley’s humanitarian outreach a permanent platform.
The new Church spans 95,000 square-feet upon four acres, just blocks from the NoHo Arts District and is poised to engage community change makers across the region. The massive chapel of the Valley’s new Church of Scientology seats more than 1,000 and provides for Scientology congregational gatherings that include Sunday services, weddings and naming ceremonies. It will also host community-wide events, open to members of all denominations. The facility further includes multiple seminar rooms and classrooms, and an entire wing dedicated to Scientology auditing (spiritual counseling).
