VALENCIA, Spain — A New Year 2026 story published by the Church of Scientology has featured the Church of Scientology Mission of Valencia as a local base for faith services alongside community programmes in the La Llum neighbourhood of Valencia.
The account notes that, in a context where residents increasingly face rising crime and public insecurity, the Mission is presented as a point of stability. It describes the Mission as delivering Scientology services along the Church’s spiritual counselling path up to the State of Clear.
From that foundation, the story credits the Mission with a volunteer network of close to 200 volunteers who advance Church-sponsored initiatives—United for Human Rights, The Way to Happiness and Drug-Free World—serving neighbours and visitors.
Organisers describe the three campaigns as complementary: human rights literacy anchored in the principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, practical ethical guidance intended for everyday life, and prevention materials aimed at reducing the harms associated with drugs. The Valencia Mission has also appeared in the Church’s activities reporting for local anti-drug outreach, including a 2024 initiative titled Helping Combat Drug Abuse at the Beautiful Port of Valencia.
A central element of the New Year story is the response by Scientology Drug-Free World Volunteer Ministers during what the text calls “Spain’s deadliest floods of the century.” The narrative states that the Mission’s disaster response proved decisive and reports that Valencia’s Civil Guard commended the Mission for reinforcing the city’s social foundation. The account further cites figures of 12,000 hours of service and assistance to nearly 50,000 people.
Ivan Arjona, the Church of Scientology’s representative to the European Union, the OSCE, the Council of Europe and the United Nations, said the Valencia example reflects a practical expression of European civic values.
“European values take shape through everyday responsibility—through education, prevention and volunteer service,” said Ivan Arjona. “When communities face pressure, what matters is what people do next.”
The Mission operates from Valencia’s La Llum district; its official site lists its location and contact details at C/ Padre Esteban Pernet 30, 46014 Valencia.
