The Urantia Book Fellowship
The Urantia Book Fellowship is a not-for-profit fraternal organization formed in 1955 to provide services for readers of The Urantia Book.

The Fellowship is managed by an Executive Committee consisting of officers and committee chairs elected by a General Council consisting of 36 members from various regional Societies and study groups. Councilors are elected by a Triennial Delegate Assembly consisting of representatives elected by constituent regional Societies and serve 9 year terms.

Purposes
The purposes of the Fellowship are the study and dissemination of the teachings of The Urantia Book; the promotion, improvement, and expansion among the peoples of the world of the comprehension and understanding of Cosmology and the relation of the planet on which we live to the Universe, of the genesis and destiny of Man and his relation to God, and of the life and teachings of Jesus; and the inculcation and encouragement of the realization and appreciation of the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man ‑‑ in order to increase and enhance the comfort, happiness, and well‑being of Man, as an individual and as a member of society, by fostering a religion, a philosophy, and a cosmology which are commensurate with Man's intellectual and cultural development, through the medium of fraternal association, ever obedient and subservient to the laws of this country and of all countries wherein the Fellowship may extend.
