Molly Burke, executive director of the Montrose-Verdugo City Chamber of Commerce and a lifelong Montrose local, added, “The Church of Scientology continually shows up for Montrose in ways big and small – organizing toy drives that bring joy to local children, volunteering time and energy at community events like the Chamber’s biggest event – Oktoberfest – and organizing street cleanups to keep our city beautiful. Your commitment to service is inspiring. You step up without needing to be asked. This community is not only lucky to have you in it, we are better because you are here.”

The Church of Scientology Mission of the Foothills unveils its Ideal Mission in Montrose, marking over 40 years of community service with a grand opening attended by parishioners, volunteers and civic leaders.

Emlyn Thomas, a volunteer leader of Operation BBQ Relief whose charity serves up to 50,000 meals a day in disaster zones, spoke of partnering with Scientology Volunteer Ministers during the California wildfires this past January in Altadena and Pacific Palisades. 

“Every person I met from Scientology was calm, prepared and composed,” he said. “They were on a mission to get the job done. I look forward to standing shoulder to shoulder with them at any disaster site.”

Many Foothills families know the Mission for its Halloween Haunted House and Easter Fun events. 

As an Ideal Church of Scientology Mission, the full array of introductory Scientology services is now available to the Foothills community, including the popular Life Improvement Courses that address life’s challenges, the Personal Efficiency Course, the Hubbard Dianetics Seminar, Dianetics and Scientology pastoral counseling as well as the Purification Program which free individuals from the mental and spiritual damage caused by drugs and toxins.

The Mission also offer free seminars such as on the Power of the Subconscious Mind or on parenting. Visitors can also view videos on Dianetics and Scientology and its Founder L. Ron Hubbard, or take a free online personality test with complimentary evaluation.
