What is The Society?

The Society for the New Message from God is a 501(c)(3) religious nonprofit organization whose mission is to preserve, protect and present the New Message from God in the world. The Society is not affiliated with any other religious body. It is financially supported by donations from the students of the New Message worldwide, receiving no sponsorship or revenue from any government or religious organization.

The Society was founded in 1992 by the Messenger Marshall Vian Summers who saw the need for an organization and a dedicated core of people who could carry the mission of the Messenger both during and beyond his life, protecting the Revelation and maintaining its purity deep into the future.

From that day to this, The Society has shared the burden of the Messenger, standing alongside him, witnessing the process of Revelation and undertaking the great task of bringing a New Revelation from God to humanity.

The Society is comprised of ten Members and nine Core Assistants who have each chosen to respond to their own sense of calling to assist the Messenger and advance the emergence of the New Message in the world. In addition, The Society is assisted and supported by dedicated volunteers living in different countries and serving in many different capacities.

The Society follows the direct guidance of the leader of the New Message, Marshall Vian Summers. Assisting the leader of the New Message is the Director of The Society, Reed Summers, who coordinates the Management Team that oversees the departments of the organization.

Our Work

The Society’s mission is to bring the New Message from God into the world to people everywhere so that humanity can find its common ground, preserve the Earth, protect human freedom and advance human civilization as we stand at the threshold of great and unprecedented change.

The work of The Society is dedicated to advancing the mission of the Message and the Messenger — a mission originally established by God and the Angelic Assembly. This mission is deeply connected to the evolution and destiny of our world and is a direct extension of a Divine Plan to serve our world at this critical time in human history.

Since the beginning of time and the creation of the manifest universe, God and the Angelic Presence have advanced a mission to heal the Separation and redeem the separated through Knowledge, both in our world and throughout the Greater Community of intelligent life in the universe.

The Society is dedicated to serving this greater mission and Plan of God. At this time, our primary work is to receive, preserve, protect and present God’s New Message in the world. We seek to do this through the publication of books, supporting the process of international translation, hosting websites, forums and many other online environments, providing education and engagement for The Worldwide Community through events, broadcasts, Encampments and The Free School of the New Message.

By doing this, God’s calling and communication can reach the hearts of all people, awakening the power of Knowledge in the world so that people may discover their unique contribution at this time of escalating need, change and opportunity.

Yet this is a responsibility that far exceeds what we can do alone. It requires the support and assistance of many people. The books you hold in your hand, the website that informs and inspires you, the Greater Community Sanctuary which hosts the New Message events, the offices that maintain this organization are all a product of the giving of many people.

And thanks to financial contributions, the doors are open to the Greater Community Sanctuary, The Free School of the New Message is open to all people free of charge and the volumes and books of the New Message are increasingly available free online. You, who may be among the first to receive and experience this New Message from God, can join others in making a real contribution to this vital mission.

The Story of the Members of The Society

Every Revelation given from the Creator throughout history has a story — the story of its delivery, the story of its Messenger and the story of the early community of individuals who gathered to support the Messenger and help bring forth God’s Revelation for the world.

The story of God’s New Revelation is unfolding before us now, around the Messenger, around The Society — the small circle of individuals who have gathered to support him — and the growing Worldwide Community of students. It is a story with a humble beginning that continues to unfold.

In 1992, having already been engaged in the process of Revelation for 10 years, the Messenger established the organization of The Society, even though at that time there were only a few individuals present with him to participate.

In the years that followed, the current members of The Society would come to find the Revelation and eventually take up their place of service to it. Each of them has their own unique story.

While living in different life situations, circumstances and places, they each encountered the Revelation or the Messenger and began to respond to an experience of recognition and a sense of calling, taking the first steps towards a life of service even though they did not know where those steps would lead or what it would mean.

So they came, gaining the freedom to find their way, one by one, each facing challenges and adversity, but each knowing that they must come, that they must take up a position in service to this emerging Revelation and to the man receiving it. This would require that they develop greater inner and outer strength and stability, as they began to share the burden of the Messenger.

Over their years of service, they have walked a difficult road with the Messenger, maintaining a deep devotion and commitment to him and to his mission, freeing him so he can do what only he can do, standing with him and being there for him, no matter what difficulties or challenges arose.

Today they continue to respond to their sense of calling and responsibility, seeking to achieve a greater service, meeting even greater challenges, and having their lives and roles refined and redefined in serving this great mission. This is all so that the New Message from God may reach the world in the ever narrowing time available, providing wisdom and insight rarely ever seen in this world and calling forth Knowledge in the human family so that this spiritual power may emerge and guide humanity at these times of great need.

Yet how can this small group of people possibly do this? How can they fulfill this mission? These are questions they live with.

Now others are beginning to respond to their own sense of calling to assist The Society in this great undertaking. The Core Assistants and the many volunteers now assisting The Society are taking up vital roles and responsibilities that enable this mission to proceed on an ever-greater scale.

The story of the early community of the Revelation continues to unfold as inspired individuals around the world respond to God’s New Revelation and take their place of service, both in the world and in direct support of the mission of the Message and the Messenger.

About the Core Assistants of The Society

The Core Assistants of The Society are a vital part of the mission of the New Message from God. Core Assistants are individuals who feel a personal sense of calling to serve and advance the mission of the Message and the Messenger and to help The Society undertake this mission in the world. They have made this a primary focus, strengthening their inner and outer lives sufficiently in order to hold and advance key areas of the Society’s work and to sustain this over time. This is a real demonstration of true service.

There are presently thirteen Core Assistants in five countries assisting The Society.

About the Volunteers Assisting The Society

The Volunteers assisting the Society provide a critical service in advancing many aspects of The Society’s work and mission. Volunteers are students of the Worldwide Community residing around the world who are able to offer their time, skills and availability to fulfill specific tasks, staff projects and collaborate in the teams and departments of the organization. This form of service complements their studenthood and advocacy of the New Message in the world and is a vital support to the work and mission of the Society and the Messenger.

There are presently over 84 volunteers in 28 countries assisting The Society.
