What arises in Destination: Scientology, the Scientology Network travel series that steps inside Churches around the world, is a portrait of a city defined by elevation—not just altitude, but aspiration. Here, Colorado’s historic “rough and ready” spirit transforms into something upward-looking: a drive to lift lives, communities and futures.
His experience is just one strand of a wider tapestry of uplift.
The episode traces that ascent to a century-old American Radiator Company warehouse, chosen not for convenience but character. The Church restored its industrial bones into a soaring home for a modern congregation—complete with a vast Public Information Center, expansive course rooms and the 14ers Club café, named after the state’s 58 peaks that stand at or above 14,000 feet. Here, the environment lifts people higher in their own lives—something Amy Seymour captures when she calls Scientology “a toolbox,” offering practical solutions that empower individuals to rise through challenges, emerging stronger at every step.
Baseball coach and Denver native Turner Pruitt speaks of learning to overcome failure and become “the artist of my own life.” Thanks to Scientology, he attained a clarity he now passes on to the young players he mentors. And his experience is just one strand of a wider tapestry of uplift that extends beyond individual lives and into civic partnerships across the city. Interfaith specialist Richard Millett, for example, describes “the great good that the Church of Scientology is doing at so many different levels” to elevate the city’s well-being.
From Little Man Ice Cream’s winding lines to lights drifting across the Water Lantern Festival, the episode captures a community always reaching higher—and a Church that gives them the boost they need. Those mile-high aspirations continue to soar at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, where open-air sunsets frame a city whose spirit is matched by downtown outreach—showing how Denver lives by the mile-high motto “go higher,” with a Church that lifts its neighbors toward their dreams under famously blue Colorado skies.
Watch Destination: Scientology, Denver and see how, in a historic brick landmark reborn, Denver found new light—by rising together in ways that carry the city ever higher, and higher still.
