In the Spirit of its Historic Pioneers, City of Salt Lake Welcomes Utah’s First Ideal Church of Scientology

In the heart of the Rockies, on iconic South Temple Street, the Church of Scientology Salt Lake City opens its doors to all.

In a city whose name itself carries for all Americans connotations of religious faith and commitment, the Church of Scientology Salt Lake dedicated its newest addition February 17 to an ever-expanding congregation of churches worldwide.

On a balmy Saturday under bright sun—uncommon for midwinter in this picturesque mountain city—the Church was welcomed by civic and religious leaders who joined local and regional members to officially open its new home in Utah, just a mile from the heart of Salt Lake.

While the weather in Salt Lake in February typically stays below freezing, the warmth of welcome at this grand opening was typical of the descendants of the city’s pioneers, whose belief in respect for individual liberties continues to run like an undercurrent within the community.

The Church’s gracious new 43,000-square-foot facility near the heart of the city stands as a commitment by Salt Lake’s Scientology community to social betterment within Utah.
