What is a fraternal benefit society?
A fraternal benefit society is a not-for-profit membership organization of individuals who share a common bond and work together to improve their communities. The society, and its local chapters, are self-governed by the membership and it provides life, health and related insurance benefits to its members.
Thrivent is a fraternal benefit society that shares the common bond of Christianity. This makes us different from other financial companies. Thrivent is owned by its membership, not shareholders or investors. This enables us to reinvest our profits into the people and communities that we serve. Our local chapters are calledThrivent Member Networks and they provide our members with programming and resources to make a difference where it matters most.
Thrivent's sale of insurance products is limited to clients with membership. Clients with or without membership may purchase non-fraternal services, such as financial planning and non-insurance investments, from Thrivent's financial advisors, subsidiaries and affiliates.

The common bond among Thrivent’s membership is Christianity. What does that mean?
If you are a Christian, a spouse of a Christian or a youth being raised in the Christian faith, you are eligible for Thrivent Membership.
Thrivent’s members embrace the core Christian beliefs as articulated in the Apostles' Creed:
I believe in God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell. The third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty. From there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Christian Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting.
If you share these beliefs, we invite you to join the Thrivent membership in pursuing a life of generosity and wisdom with money.
