It is with great pride we welcome you to our Church.

Originally established in 1955 as one of the first Churches of Scientology in the world, we are honored to serve the city where the global Dianetics and Scientology movement began. For it was here, in 1950, that Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health—authored by Founder L. Ron Hubbard in nearby Bay Head, New Jersey—rolled off a Manhattan press to take the world by storm.

The home where Dianetics and Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard authored Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health stands fully restored today in Bay Head, New Jersey, an hour south of New York City on the Atlantic shore.

The Church of Scientology in New York City, located just off Times Square, was a gift from the International Association of Scientologists to the people of New York in recognition of their courage and spirit in the face of the 2001 World Trade Center disaster.
