Congregational Coordinator Role

Are you wondering how a congregational coordinator's role differs from that of a chapter leader?

Thrivent Financial for Lutherans is proud to support a variety of volunteer efforts within the many communities we serve. Two prominent volunteer roles are those of chapter leader and congregational coordinator. Your role as congregational coordinator is focused on helping the congregation. As a coordinator, you have a special Thrivent Financial program, Care in Congregations®, that enables you to engage members in activities that will help your congregation or its related institutions. Chapter leaders manage the chapter; the legal entity required by law for all fraternal benefit societies, including Thrivent Financial for Lutherans. Chapter leaders are elected and may appoint additional optional advisory positions. They are responsible for providing strategic direction, leadership planning and administration support to the chapter and its congregational and community service teams. Chapter leaders approve funding for activities that benefit the community through the Care Abounds in Communities® program. All Thrivent Financial for Lutherans members have the option to be involved at both the congregational and the chapter level by volunteering with a variety of service teams formed to meet pressing congregational or community needs. For more information on these two roles and the programs that enable them to meet needs, please refer to CHIP, the online chapter resource guide, located at www.thrivent.com/members/chip.
