The Church of Scientology International:
The Mother Church of the Scientology Religion

hurch of Scientology International (CSI), headquartered in Los Angeles, is the mother church of the Scientology religion. Its Board of Directors is composed of the highest ecclesiastic management officials of the Scientology religion. A long-term, experienced Church executive, the Reverend Heber C. Jentzsch has served as its President since 1982 and is the official spokesman for CSI and for the religion as a whole.

CSI provides ecclesiastical guidance to churches, organizations and groups and the broad planning and direction needed to advance Scientology around the world.

Church of Scientology International trains the executives and staff of local churches, provides tailored religious guidance and programs to individual churches, and sends highly trained personnel to assist them as needed. It also plans broad-scale dissemination campaigns and translates Mr. Hubbard's religious works into the many languages in which Scientology is practiced. By 1994, these works had been translated into 31 languages.

As the mother church for the religion, CSI ensures that all Scientology churches and, through Scientology Missions International (the mother church for missions), all Scientology missions operate in a coordinated manner to achieve the broader aims of Scientology.
