As a fraternal benefit society, Thrivent Financial for Lutherans offers more than just financial products and services. We offer charitable, social and educational activities to serve our members and their congregations.
In fact, congregations have indicated a resounding need for financial education. We’ve responded by developing a library of educational workshops designed to meet the needs of adults and youth.
These workshops are informational only—no products are offered for sale.
Topics cover money management, investment management, how to give back, preparing for retirement and adjusting to life events such as college, marriage, growing families or losing a spouse. Most workshops are 50 to 60 minutes long and can fit into most adult education hours. Some topics may even be of interest to your small group ministries.
Based on the concerns you’re hearing in your congregation, which of the following workshops might be of interest?
- Charitable Giving: How to Make a Difference by Giving Back
- Economy and Investment Outlook Update®* (60-minute version)
- Economy and Markets Update® (30-minute version)

*Presenters for these workshops must meet special qualifications.
Workshops benefit you and your congregation in many ways. They provide information so that attendees can make more informed decisions, be more financially secure and use their values to guide their decisions. Workshops also provide a way for congregation members to engage with one another. And they are a great resource to help you meet your personal priorities.
This month's featured workshop is The Economy and Investment Outlook Update®.
