LOS ANGELES - s4story -- Scientology Network's DESTINATION: SCIENTOLOGY, the weekly travelogue series that takes viewers inside Scientology Churches all around the world and discovers what makes each one unique, presents an episode featuring Auckland, New Zealand, on May 22, 2023.

DESTINATION: SCIENTOLOGY airs Mondays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Scientology Network.

ABOUT DESTINATION: SCIENTOLOGY, AUCKLAND

Auckland, New Zealand, is a modern metropolis in the northern New Zealand island, surrounded by spectacular natural wonders and infused with Polynesian culture. The convergence of influences from the Western world with indigenous Maori traditions has transformed this city into a world-class destination unlike anywhere else on Earth.

Scientology's roots in New Zealand stretch back to 1955, when the Church of Scientology of Auckland was founded there as only the second Church in the world. In this episode, viewers will not only visit some of the stunning landscapes that have helped this Pacific island paradise become one of the most sought after locations for film and television productions, but they will also tour the historic Church itself. The building is a landmark site originally established in 1844, which later served as the Trinity Methodist Theological College to train theologians who would later carry out missions throughout the Pacific Rim. And it's where today Scientologists are working to keep this diverse and unique island culture thriving well into the future.
