The "Church of Scientology" (frequently abbreviated as "the Church") is a term commonly used as an overarching label for the conglomerate of interrelated Scientology corporations. According to the Church of Scientology International in a response to the IRS in 1991: Though there are many corporations with names beginning with "Church of Scientology", there is no corporate entity named "Church of Scientology". In the 1950s, there were two short-lived organizations by that name: • The Church of Scientology was incorporated in New Jersey on December 22, 1953 along with The Church of American Science, and The Church of Spiritual Engineering on January 18, 1954. These three entities came under Hubbard Association of Scientologists International (HASI). All four entities have long been terminated. • Church of Scientology was incorporated in California on February 18, 1954. Two years later it was officially renamed to Church of Scientology of California on June 19, 1956. That corporation was restated in August 1982, dissolved on December 30, 2002, and terminated with the California Secretary of State on November 18, 2004. In a 1992 legal case between Scientology and the IRS, this list was compiled: == Founding Church of Scientology, Washington, D.C. ==

The Founding Church of Scientology of Washington, D.C. (FCDC) was incorporated in 1955 under the name ''The Founding Church of Man's Religion of Washington, D.C.'', as a "parent church for the propagation of the religious faith known as Scientology". The name was often shortened to "Founding Church" or "Founding Church DC", and abbreviated FCDC. In the 1960s, FCDC had offices in Washington, D.C. at 1810, 1812, and 1827 19th Street NW, and 1907 and 2125 S Street NW. Its purpose was "To disseminate Scientology. To advance and protect its membership. To hold the lines and data of Scientology clean and clear. To educate and process people toward the goal of a civilized age on Earth second to none. To survive on all dynamics." Subsidiary organizations included the Distribution Center, Inc., the Academy of Scientology, and Hubbard Guidance Center. FCDC was the site of a 1963 raid by the FDA in which all the e-meters on the premises, and related publications, were confiscated. The resulting lawsuits covered several years, and resulted in a 1970s order limiting the use of e-meters and mandating certain labeling. (See .) FCDC was also the site of a 1977 raid by the FBI over Scientology's spying on government agencies. This resulted in the criminal conviction of eleven Scientologists in 1979, including L. Ron Hubbard's wife. (See Operation Snow White.) In 1994, the Church of Scientology purchased the Fraser Mansion at 1701 20th Street NW for their new "Founding Church of Scientology Washington D.C." In 2009, the new FCDC relocated to 1424 16th Street NW, while the Fraser Mansion was repurposed for Scientology's National Affairs Office. In 2003, Heritage Properties International, a subordinate organization to Church of Spiritual Technology and formerly named Heritage Management Company Ltd., purchased the building at 1812 19th Street NW, and turned it into a Scientology museum named L. Ron Hubbard House. It is also referred to as the historic Founding Church of Scientology. ==See also==
