To meet the global demand for Dianetics and Scientology, a new breed of Scientology Church is being opened in major cities around the world.

2004 marked the launch of the Ideal Org (Organization) strategy to transform all Scientology Churches into Ideal Churches of Scientology.

This was the goal L. Ron Hubbard had set for Scientologists—to one day create Churches that were the physical embodiment of the Policy and Technology he had provided to help beings attain spiritual freedom.

An Ideal Org is a Church configured to provide the full services of the Scientology religion to its parishioners and to the community.
