Midwayers are a unique order of planetary beings who occupy an intermediate level between humans (material) and angels (spiritual). They serve as essential liaisons, communicators, and helpers—working to bridge the gap between the visible world of mortals and the invisible ministries of celestial personalities.
They are called Midwayers because they exist “midway” between the human and angelic realms.
Spiritual Context
In celestial teachings, Midwayers are described as permanent inhabitants of a planet, entrusted with supporting its long-term spiritual, moral, and social evolution. They are native to Urantia and deeply invested in humanity’s welfare. Unlike angels, who come and go according to assignment, Midwayers remain:
-
familiar with human cultures,
-
attuned to celestial guidance, and
-
committed to planetary progress.
Midwayers played key roles in major spiritual epochs on Urantia, including the missions of Adam and Eve, Melchizedek, and Jesus.
They continue to serve actively in the Correcting Time.
Two Orders of Midwayers
As revealed in The Urantia Book, Midwayers exist in two primary groups:
-
Primary Midwayers
-
Older order, originating from the Planetary Prince’s staff.
-
More closely aligned with the angelic spectrum.
-
Serve in administrative and supervisory functions.
-
-
Secondary Midwayers
-
Later order, emerging during Adamic times.
-
Closer to human perception and experience.
-
More active in communication and human support.
-
Together, they are called the United Midwayers of Urantia, reflecting their unity after long periods of historical separation.

Celestial Perspective
Machiventa Melchizedek often refers to the Midwayers as the “native working corps” of the planet—those who know Urantia best and serve it tirelessly. Monjoronson teaches that Midwayers are essential partners in the long process of restoration and stabilization.
Midwayers are our unseen planetary companions—faithful, devoted, and eternally committed to the progress of Urantia.
