| President - Pete Dumpis |
Thank you for visiting our Chapter's website. Please do not hesitate to contact one of our Chapter Leaders if you have any questions about the Lutheran congregations in our area, or the activities that our Thrivent Chapter is involved with in our community. To let you know a little about me, my wife, three daughters, and I have lived in Woodstock/Towne Lake since 1993. I grew up in Chicago, graduated from the Ohio State University, and moved my family to Georgia in 1991. Having lived here now for 16 years, my family and I have now come to call this “Home”. My family belongs to Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Woodstock. It is a short 15 minute drive and have become quite active in the congregation. Shortly after Aid Association for Lutherans (AAL) and Lutheran Brotherhood (LB) merged to form Thrivent Financial for Lutherans back in 2003, I became a founding member of the Cherokee-Pickens Chapter of Thrivent Financial For Lutherans. It is a great honor and I am very proud to be involved in an organization that gives so much to our community. If you are reading this, you are already well on your way to researching the activities that Thrivent is doing in our community. Please contact anyone of our leaders to see how our Chapter can help support you and your charitable passions through the financial donations offered by Thrivent and our members volunteer efforts. I look forward to meeting and talking to you further.

Each team of Congregational Coordinators organizes fund raising and hands-on service activities within the church that benefit the congregation and/or its various missions.If you have a passion for coordinating activities that help the church and you are interested in receiving matching funds from Thrivent, please contact me. Our teams could use your help and would love to work with you.
