About The Center For Unity

Our Mission

The Center For Unity's mission is to make transformative spiritual teachings accessible to diverse audiences through innovative platforms, focused content, and engaged community experiences.

We present Jesus' wisdom alongside insights from The Urantia Book , creating multiple pathways for people to connect with these teachings regardless of background or learning style. We seek to illuminate both the divine and human aspects of these spiritual truths, showing how these timeless principles can inspire and guide us all in navigating modern life.

Our Vision

We envision a world where transformative spiritual teachings inspire personal growth and social unity, transcending religious boundaries and fostering a global spiritual awakening.

Our aim is to create accessible spaces, both digital and experiential, where seekers can explore the profound wisdom of Jesus and The Urantia Book without dogma or institutional barriers, finding pathways to spiritual truth that resonate with their unique journey and learning style.

Our Origin Story

What to do with this, I had no clue. A couple of months later, a friend came from Switzerland and asked me to take her sightseeing around the Sea of Galilee. We came up on a little hill while hiking around the Mount of Beatitudes. I looked down and saw an amazing vista.

A couple of weeks later, my good friend Diane Labrecque came to lead her first spiritual retreat for Urantia Book students to follow in the footsteps of the Master.

Among that group, you'll see (left to right) Rick Lyon, Maramis Choufani, Diane Labrecque, Jeff Wattles, and me (Gabriel Rymberg). We spent many hours talking about Jesus and in those conversations the idea came to build a retreat center for pilgrims. During the retreat, we told the group about this idea, and later we did a group prayer on top of the same hill.

Our Initiatives

Using the wisdom found in The Urantia Book , we're creating a diverse portfolio of projects that make transformative spiritual teachings accessible to today's digital-native generation.

The Discover Jesus website, Divine within Podcast, Divine Within Film Series, The Discover The Urantia Book website, Urantia Book resources (including our Tutor and Podcast), and interactive AI tools like the Ask Jesus Chatbot are all designed to make profound spiritual concepts accessible and relatable to everyone, especially young adults who engage primarily through digital platforms.

We believe that understanding and applying these timeless teachings can bring about personal transformation and help navigate the complexities of modern life. Our goal is to present these spiritual truths in their full depth, showing how they remain relevant and can inspire people from all backgrounds.
