Global Community Communications Alliance
 Global Community Communications Alliance (GCCA)—a multifaceted nonprofit organization in Tubac, Arizona—was founded in 1989 by Gabriel of Urantia and Niann Emerson Chase with the vision of creating a future society of truth, beauty, and goodness, of hope and destiny fulfillment, of unity without uniformity and the understanding through expanded revelatory concepts that we are all children of the same Creator. That vision has blossomed into a cherished reality we call the First Planetary Sacred Home…
GCCA focuses on creating global change through a variety of outreaches, living and working as an EcoVillage and religious order. We are a cosmic family, with members and friends from every corner of the globe, representing many diverse ethnic and religious backgrounds. We model our lives after the religious life of the cosmic Christ (Jesus Christ Michael),our Creator Son.
Members of Global Community Communications Alliance work with the earth as a healing connection to the Universe Mother Spirit. As an integral part of our spiritual discipline we live in harmony with nature by practicing various methods of organic farming and gardening at Avalon Gardens, 165-acre farm and ranch in the Tubac area. As a blossoming EcoVillage, we are developing sustainability in techniques of water-harvesting, composting, recycling, carpooling, and using alternative energy and building methods. Our work includes educating ourselves and others for the need to assume responsibility for and the stewardship of our fragile planet Earth, which we call Urantia.
100 members (including children) seek to live in divine pattern where service to others and soul growth are emphasized, with on-going openings for new members
GCCA members gain experiential training in various trades working in local outreach services via Planetary Family Services. Vocational training and apprenticeships run year-round.
The international members are all students of the Global Community Communications Schools of Ascension Science & the Physics of Rebellion. Classes based on teachings found in Fifth Epochal Revelation (The URANTIA Book) and Continuing Fifth Epochal Revelation (The Cosmic Family volumes) are offered in Tubac for members and local residents; home-study courses are offered by correspondence. Call for information on weekend seminars. Hundreds of supporters worldwide are affiliated in other ways.
Healing incorporates the spiritual and scientific techniques of tron therapy (an advanced form of energy transference via touch), personal transmissions (a unique source of information of past lives), morontia counseling, and Reiki. At the Soulistic Medical Institute a medical doctor, clinical psychologist, massage therapists and other healing practitioners use the latest Continuing Fifth Epochal Revelation information to heal both soul and body. Many of our Soulistic Hospice caregivers are interfaith ministers.
Many will pilgrimage to Tumacacori for our Earth Harmony Festival, happening October 5-6, 2013. This is a free weekend celebration of eco-living & sustainability held on Avalon Organic Gardens & EcoVillage. Offering live music, theater, food, arts & crafts, eco-booths and tours, hands-on demonstrations, children’s village, pony and hay rides, camping and more.

Global Change Multi-Media also provides mentorship training programs for musicians, actors and technicians in sound and video recording. The Musicians That Need to Be Heard Network offers higher-consciousness musicians and artists from around the world a chance to meet their destinies and actualize their God-given talents.
