L. Ron Hubbard’s Home in Phoenix is the birthplace of Scientology. And with L. Ron Hubbard’s birthday, March 13, on the horizon, Scientologists the world over look forward to celebrating the day. Because this is such a special day for Scientologists, it meant a great deal to the local congregation that the Arizona Interfaith Movement recently paid tribute to Mr. Hubbard’s work in Phoenix. Naturally, this will make their celebration even more special.
L. Ron Hubbard’s Phoenix Home—Where he lived when he founded Scientology
A brilliant sunset burnished Camelback Mountain overlooking Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard’s Phoenix home. And it created the perfect backdrop to this very special presentation. This is where Rev. Larry Fultz, executive director of Arizona Interfaith Movement, presented a plaque to the Church of Scientology Phoenix.
Phoenix, Arizona, Interfaith Organization Presents Award
The plaque states: “Presented in commemoration of the 70th Anniversary of L. Ron Hubbard arriving to his Camelback Home where he founded the Scientology religion. A profound philosopher, humanitarian and author, Mr. Hubbard lived by the Golden Rule and inspired countless others to strive toward the creation of a world of harmony, goodwill and peace, as reflected in his writings.”
“The award is very special for us considering the accomplishments over these 70 years,” said Rev. Ginny Leason, Director of Public Affairs of the Church of Scientology Phoenix and board member of Arizona Interfaith. “We follow Mr. Hubbard’s principles of goodwill and peace and thank Arizona Interfaith for this plaque and their own application of the Golden Rule.”
L. Ron Hubbard’s Research Into the Mind, Spirit and Life
It was here at the foot of the mountain that L. Ron Hubbard’s research led him to discover that:
Man is an immortal spiritual being.
His experience extends well beyond a single lifetime.
His capabilities are unlimited, even if not presently realized.
“Man can save his soul,” he wrote. “Like the bright cool dawn after a night of prison and of thunder Man can taste that freedom sought so long.”
Birth of the Scientology religion
In the early 1950s, Scientologists traveled to Phoenix from across America. And more came from abroad. They attended three Congresses in Phoenix. And the most accomplished among them attended seven Advanced Clinical Courses. Here, Mr. Hubbard laid the foundation for Scientology. And it soon grew to the world’s youngest major religion.

David Miscavige Dedicated The New Church of Scientology
The Church of Scientology Phoenix has served a growing congregation since 1974, and moved to its expansive new headquarters on the southeast corner of 44th Street and Indianola Avenue in 2012. It was then that Scientology ecclesiastical leader Mr. David Miscavige dedicated the church.
David Miscavige’s message to those attending the grand opening
“You are about to embark on a new chapter in your history,” he said. “And it all begins with an undying pledge to uphold that rare spirit of competence, compassion and benevolence with which L. Ron Hubbard originally founded Scientology. For only in that way will we ever achieve the Aims of Scientology. And thus that world without war; a world of which we can be proud, where the able can prosper, where honest beings have rights and all are free to rise to greater heights. And, yes, that is our responsibility as Scientologists. And, yes, it’s one we proudly embrace.”
L Ron Hubbard’s Home in Phoenix was completely restored
The Church of Scientology restored L. Ron Hubbard’s home. All furnishings, fabrics and artwork. So it looks today just as it did when he lived here. And those visiting can see where he conducted his research on the human spirit.
