The Scientology Information Center opened on July 15^th 2015. The Center features a full biographical display illuminating the extraordinary life and legacy of Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard—from his childhood to his career as an author before the advent of Dianetics and Scientology, as well as his revolutionary body of work in establishing and defining the religion itself.

Inside the center, Clearwater residents and visitors to the city’s downtown also discovered information displays containing some 300 documentary videos covering:

• The fundamentals of Dianetics and Scientology, including the core principles and beliefs.
• The ever-expanding network of Scientology Churches and groups and the global scope of Scientology as a religious movement.
• The panoply of humanitarian programs now the hallmark of the Church the world over.

“Guests are from as far away as Russia and Thailand and as close to home as Clearwater, FL,” said Amber Skjelset, the Center’s Manager. “Though diverse in terms of race, religion and beliefs, these people are genuinely curious about Scientology and wanted to learn about it for themselves. People want to learn and find out who their neighbors are. From working at the Information Center I’ve befriended people from every corner of the world. It’s great that a center such as this one brings people together and encourages them to learn about each other and their beliefs.”

The Center has hosted 99 different events ranging from honoring winners of the Presidential Service award, to acknowledging community activists for mentoring youth and music concerts in honor of Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, International Day of Peace, and International Day of Happiness with genres such as Broadway, Opera, Classical, and popular piano music.
