The Church of Scientology Flag Ship Service Organization ministers the highest levels of religious services, as well as other select services to help one on his route to spiritual freedom. It is a unique church of Scientology which is located aboard the Motor Vessel Freewinds, a 440-foot ship based in the Caribbean, with the home port of Curaçao.

Needing a safe, aesthetic, distraction-free environment appropriate for ministration of these spiritual services, this church of Scientology returned to the sea, far from the crossroads of the workaday world. To a Scientologist, coming to the Freewinds for this is the pinnacle of a deeply spiritual journey. Years of training and auditing have brought him to this ultimate point. It is the most significant spiritual accomplishment of his lifetime and brings with it the full realization of his immortality.

The Freewinds is a very special place. It is the one place on this planet that a Scientologist can go and be certain that he will be able to devote all of his attention to his religious practice and, at the same time, share the company of people who share his religious commitment and outlook on life in general. A voyage on the Freewinds is nowhere close to a vacation. Rather, it is the perfect religious retreat dedicated to enabling one to devote his full attention to spiritual growth.

Religious services ministered aboard the Freewinds are not limited to Scientologists who have reached this level. Rather, there are many services ministered involving training in advanced spiritual concepts that would give a tremendous boost in awareness to any Scientologist, no matter where along his spiritual route he may be.

Other religious programs conducted aboard the Freewinds include religious conventions and seminars for staff and parishioners of churches of Scientology from around the world as well as specially arranged gatherings also for Scientologists from a particular country or community for a particular program of religious services.
