Our Mission statement:
We are a Lutheran based organization
that helps our church, community and region
through voluntary fraternal and benevolent activities.

The organization has expanded its mission, vision and values:
The Thrivent Way:

We are a faith-based membership organization.

Our purpose is to strengthen Christian communities
by helping members be wise with money and
inspiring them to live generously.

We succeed when our members and their communities thrive.

We value our relationships, so we will
be trustworthy in character and competence,
we will treat our members as owners and we will
live balanced and generous lives.
