LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA • OCTOBER 10, 2015
Golden Crest Religious Retreat Inaugurated in Los Angeles for Ideal Pacifica Bridge as Scientology Boom Rolls On
The Golden Crest opens to keep pace with this year’s unparalleled expansion, as the numbers of Scientologists arriving to Los Angeles for advanced Scientology services continues to grow.
Over 1,500 gathered in Hollywood October 10 to celebrate the dedication of the Golden Crest, a second new religious retreat to serve Scientologists attending Scientology training and spiritual counseling.
Just minutes from the Ideal Pacifica Bridge, the Golden Crest’s spacious apartments are convenient and distraction-free—and thus the ideal environment for parishioners to audit themselves to the state of Clear and beyond.
Perfect for families and those in L.A. for extended stays, the Golden Crest is dedicated for Scientologists participating in services at the Ideal Pacifica Bridge—the complex of Churches on L. Ron Hubbard Way that spans the entire range of Scientology services. It begins with the Ideal Church of Scientology of Los Angeles at the intersection of Sunset Boulevard and L. Ron Hubbard Way—where Scientologists and those first learning about the religion progress through all the fundamental levels of the Scientology Bridge to Total Freedom.
Adjoining the Church of Scientology of Los Angeles, the American Saint Hill Organization, ASHO, takes Scientologists through the next phase of their journey with legendary Power Processing. It is also here that Scientology ministers and ministers-in-training perfect their skill on the Saint Hill Special Briefing Course.
And finally, the Ideal Advanced Organization of Los Angeles, where Scientologists embark on their journey to higher states of spiritual awareness.
With the dedication of two new religious retreats in as many weeks—the Fountain October 3 and the Golden Crest October 10—parishioners may choose the facility that best suits their needs as they ascend the Bridge on L. Ron Hubbard Way.
