Another Scientologist said, “I come to Flag for spiritual rejuvenation. Just being in the atmosphere is an incredible experience in itself. Being with other Scientologists from all over the world is very exciting, and Flag definitely lives up to its reputation as the friendliest place in the world.”

The FSO ministers Dianetics and Scientology services from the bottom of the Bridge through to New OT VII, plus certain specialized auditing services only available there.

Included among Flag staff are the most experienced and highly trained specialists anywhere in the world.

The excitement an auditor feels is often almost equal to that of the parishioner to whom he is ministering. “With each session, the person unfolds spiritually,” said one auditor. “His perceptions reach a level never previously imagined. Aberration just falls away in moments—and it falls away forever, leaving him spiritually free of those restraints for eternity.”

The FSO sets the technical standard in Scientology and enjoys a reputation for perfection. Flag thus serves an important role in the Scientology religion by training and interning ministerial staff from all lower churches and missions. Churches and missions from around the world send their technical staff to be trained to Flag standards.

Because it is the largest single church for Scientology in the world, Flag is also a worldwide focal point for the religion. Hundreds of parishioners gather each week in the church auditorium to acknowledge those who have completed OT levels. They also learn the latest news from other churches around the world and receive special briefings from the Church’s international headquarters. Several times a year Flag is host to globally telecast major Scientology religious gatherings, at which top Church executives present current news, briefings and plans for the future.

The FSO is also a hub of Scientology within its own community, sponsoring many different outreach activities to help those in need. Artists and musicians at Flag hold public exhibitions and concerts, and local public are always invited.

The Flag Service Organization is the mecca of the Scientology religion. Though it concentrates on ministering the most advanced spiritual levels of Scientology, its services span the entirety of the Bridge. Every Scientologist in the world aspires to come to Flag. And sooner or later, everyone does.
