Learn what makes the Church so special to its members and the community at large.<\/p>\n<p>In dedicating the Church in July 2010, Scientology ecclesiastical leader Mr. David Miscavige told those gathered for the celebration, \u201cYou are now part of a movement like nothing in our history. And it is gaining momentum by the day.\u201d He reminded Pasadena Scientologists that \u201cthere is indeed a lot of help we must now bring to bear. That is the pledge we make today, to the city of Pasadena.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And that is a pledge the Church has embraced and embodied ever since.<\/p>\n<p>The California State Assembly and Historic Preservation Commission awarded the Church a Historic Preservation Award \u201cfor preserving the rich heritage of Pasadena\u201d for its work in restoring its new home, the iconic structure known as the Braley Building. It was originally a bicycle emporium constructed in 1906, before the advent of the automobile, when a bicycle \u201chighway\u201d was built through the city to accommodate this new form of transportation.<\/p>\n<p>The rise and fall of the Braley Building and its revitalization epitomize the journey of the city itself: springing up from the region\u2019s orange groves in the early days of the 20th century to become one of California\u2019s premier cities, Pasadena all but succumbed\u00a0to urban blight. But the beautiful Old Town was reborn, thanks to the concerted efforts of those who were proud of its heritage, some of whom worked alongside the Church of Scientology to restore this heritage building to its former glory.<\/p>\n<p>While it honors its past, Pasadena is also home to Cal Tech and its NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, whose missions have flown to every planet and the Sun to understand our place in the universe.<\/p>\n<p>The Church of Scientology likewise looks to the future with the unique spiritual technology developed by Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard that empowers people to live their best life and achieve their dreams.<\/p>\n<p><em>Destination: Scientology\u00a0<\/em>is an original series with each episode bringing the viewer inside a new Church of Scientology, showcasing their diversity and the cooperation that weaves every Church of Scientology into the local community fabric.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scientology.tv\/network\/scientology-network-launch-special.html\">Scientology Network debuted<\/a> on March 12, 2018.
