The Scientology Public Information Centre
Our Public Information Centre offers some 500 films, providing a complete introduction to every aspect of Dianetics and Scientology, including the beliefs and practices of the religion as well as a biographical presentation on the life and legacy of our Founder, L. Ron Hubbard.

Our Information Centre further includes exhibits on the many humanitarian initiatives and community outreach programmes our Church sponsors. These include our global network of literacy and learning centres; our worldwide drug education, prevention and rehabilitation programme; our equally far-ranging human rights initiative; and our Scientology Volunteer Minister programme. Visitors to the Centre are welcome to tour the displays at their leisure for as long as they wish and to return as often as they like.

The Chapel
Our Chapel is the site of all Scientology congregational services, including Weddings, Naming Ceremonies and Sunday Services open to members of every denomination.

The Chapel
In addition to providing for Scientology gatherings, the Chapel serves as an ideal venue for workshops, banquets and events in the name of community collaboration for the betterment of Pretoria.

The Café
Our Café welcomes visitors touring the Church and provides a gathering place for those attending our many scheduled events. It is further provided for the convenience of parishioners during breaks in their Scientology services.

Dianetics & Scientology Bookstore
The bookstore makes available Founder L. Ron Hubbard’s works on Dianetics and Scientology. In all, Mr. Hubbard’s legacy comprises tens of millions of published words in dozens of books and thousands of recorded lectures. A Materials Guide Chart provides an informational overview of every book and lecture series and the subjects contained within each. These materials are available in 50 languages.

Introductory Services
Our Church provides for the delivery of all Introductory Services. These include courses for the study of Mr. Hubbard’s books and lectures and an entire array of Scientology Life Improvement Courses to help improve any aspect of one’s life.

Introductory Services
Among the many further Introductory Services available are evening and weekend Dianetics and Scientology seminars, imparting an overview of fundamental principles and their application in life.

The Purification Centre
L. Ron Hubbard developed the Purification Programme to free individuals from the mental and spiritual damage caused by drugs and toxins, through a regimen of exercise, sauna and nutrition—all of which are provided for in our Purification Centre.

The mural pays homage to Gauteng’s Witpoortjie Falls.

The Hubbard Guidance Centre
The Hubbard Guidance Centre is where Scientologists receive one-on-one spiritual counselling, known as auditing.

Auditing Room
Just beyond the waiting room are dozens of auditing rooms, each one ideally appointed to provide the calm, distraction-free setting requisite to achieving spiritual enlightenment.

The Academy
The Academy is where Scientologists train to become auditors (spiritual counselors), capable of applying the technology of auditing to help others attain spiritual freedom. Our Pretoria Academy comprises multiple course rooms, each devoted to a different aspect of training.

The Office of L. Ron Hubbard
As is traditional in all Churches of Scientology, the Office of L. Ron Hubbard stands in honour of our Founder and symbolises that this Church is true to his writings and ideals.

THE CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY
PRETORIA

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

Since 1968, we have served a growing congregation in Tshwane. Today, we are honoured to extend our help to all communities from our new home in the heart of the nation’s capital.

Our Church realises Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard’s vision that all Churches of Scientology become what he termed Ideal Organisations (Orgs). Ideal Orgs not only provide the ideal facilities to service Scientologists on their ascent to higher states of spiritual freedom, but they also serve as a home for the entire community and a meeting ground of cooperative effort to uplift people of all denominations.

To that end, we share our Church and our many humanitarian and community outreach programmes. Moreover, we look forward to working with every group and individual committed to freedom for all South Africa, in the same spirit of unity with which our Rainbow Nation was forged. Together, we can attain our common dream of a flourishing future for all.

Our doors are open. Our help is yours.

THE HISTORY OF
ARCADIA HERITAGE HOMES

The five heritage homes that comprise the Church of Scientology’s campus stand on Stanza Bopape Street in Arcadia, just steps from Embassy Row and the Union Buildings. Built between 1902 and 1908, they pre-date the government centre and represent Arcadia’s emergence as a residential suburb.

GRAND OPENING

On Saturday, February 23, more than a thousand Scientologists and their guests celebrated as a ribbon fell to herald the opening of the new Church of Scientology Pretoria. National, provincial and city dignitaries and South African royalty joined Church officials for the dedication ceremony.
