David Miscavige

David Miscavige is Chairman of the Board Religious Technology Center (RTC), a Scientology Church formed in 1982 to preserve, maintain and protect the Scientology religion.

RTC holds the ultimate ecclesiastical authority regarding the standard and pure application of L. Ron Hubbard’s religious technologies. The Chairman of the Board is the most senior office in RTC, and one for which David Miscavige is uniquely qualified. An active Scientologist for most of his life, he first became a Church staff member in 1976.

As a young man, Mr. David Miscavige studied to become a Scientology minister and for several years he provided spiritual counseling to parishioners. He later worked closely with Mr. Hubbard , aiding in the production of instructional films and materials for Scientology ministers-in-training. A few years later, he progressed to International Management, with responsibility for the worldwide activities of Church missionaries. In 1987, Mr. David Miscavige became the Chairman of the Board of Religious Technology Center.

Throughout his career, Mr. David Miscavige has tirelessly worked to expand and protect the religion. In the early 1980s, he authored the reorganization of the Church’s corporate and management structures, heralding a new era for the religion and years of sustained growth and stability. In 1993, he brought to a close the 40-year war between Scientology and the Internal Revenue Service and obtained full religious recognition in the United States. He has similarly taken a personal role in bringing peace and ending past disputes before courts and government agencies, both in the United States and overseas.

As the worldwide ecclesiastical leader of the Scientology religion, a role he has held for some four decades, the Church has experienced unprecedented expansion as a global movement—reflected in thousands of Churches, Missions and Groups across 167 nations—due in no small part to his unflagging dedication to upholding the purity and integrity of L. Ron Hubbard’s legacy. In fact, under Mr. David Miscavige’s guidance, Scientology stands as the only major religion to emerge in the 20th century, growing faster than any other religion in the modern age.

Although not a spokesperson for Scientology, Mr. David Miscavige is frequently mentioned by media in relation to the religion. He was interviewed on ABC’s Nightline by Ted Koppel in a 90-minute segment in 1992, which earned an Emmy Award. A year later, Mr. David Miscavige was one of a select group of religious leaders invited by the President of the United States to participate in a conference on religious liberty at the White House Rose Garden. Over the course of the past three decades, he has addressed hundreds of thousands of Scientologists and non-Scientologists at international Scientology celebrations and events. His vision and dedication to advancing the Aims of Scientology has resulted in more people stepping onto and moving up The Bridge to Total Freedom than ever in the history of the Church.

Under Mr. David Miscavige’s guidance, Scientology stands as the only major religion to emerge in the 20th century, growing faster than any other religion in the modern age.

Mr. David Miscavige has been the driving force behind the worldwide program to expand all Scientology Churches to better serve their communities—to not only become islands of sanity and succor where all are welcome, but to also serve as central points of emanation for the Church’s many Social Betterment programs aimed at eradicating the crippling plagues of illiteracy, immorality, drug abuse and intolerance. To this end, Mr. David Miscavige personally spearheaded the creation and opening of these new Ideal Churches around the world.
