New Ideal Scientology Church for Valencia, Venezuela
12 06 2007
An absolutely stunning new Church of Scientology is soon to grace Valencia, Venezuela, where the largest Scientology Church in South America has been experiencing such continuous expansion that they need a new space.
The Valencia Church was proclaimed in 2004 as having achieved what’s known as “Saint Hill Size”, which is where a Scientology church reaches the size and scope of influence of the Scientology Church in England where founder L. Ron Hubbard directly managed the organization in the mid-1960’s.
This distinction was explained in importance by the Mayor of Buffalo, when an Ideal Church of Scientology opened in his city - a grand opening also attended by Scientology leader, Mr. David Miscavige.
Through dedicated work with the community, including groundbreaking campaigns with The Way to Happiness to quell local violence, the Church in Venezuela has more than deserved a new building and will shortly have even that filled to capacity.

Great data and a great shot of the new Church. Are you going to do an article about the new Ideal Org Building in Sunderland, England?
I was trying to work out which one I wanted to do next. Sunderland has a stunning building that was shown to us all at L. Ron Hubbard’s birthday, which I know the staff and public there are busy working on.
I’ll fire that one up next.
Wow. I can hardly keep up. It seems like everytime I check around a bit there is some new hot building going up, being designed, purchased, etc. Quite exciting.
Thanks for posting the article about the new Sunderland and Newcastle Church of Scientology!
No problem. I already had that photo of the Scientology church in Sunderland, was waiting a bit before I posted on it. There are so many areas of England which are much like the ‘rust belt’ here in the U.S. — where industry used to flourish, but now people are without enough productive work to keep them going and purposefully employed. That’s one of the major effects a church like this can have though — to start rehabilitating leaders and making people who can give a damn and turn a place like that around.
