What is Thrivent Choice?

thrivent action teams
What are Thrivent Action Teams?
Thrivent Action Teams encourage people to support an event or cause by living generously in their community. Maybe you want to raise money to help send kids to camp this summer. You could but together an Action Team by using the $250 to advertise and buy supplies for a bake sale. Volunteers would provide the treats and work at the event. The community would purchase the goodies with proceeds going towards camper fees. Another option might be to use the Action Team funds to purchase First Aid supplies for the summer. Volunteers would shop for the supplies and assemble the First Aid kits.
What have Action Teams accomplished at camp in the past?
Action Teams have been used for Dinner Theater, building bunk beds, Serve Boldly service projects, installing new toilets, and our camp garden. Quilt groups could even apply for an Action Team to help in making and machine quilting their donation for the Quilt Auction!
How do I set up an Action Team?
Check with the Water's Edge Ministries staff about the needs of the ministry, bring your ideas, or select one of ours. Once the project is approved by Water's Edge Ministries, apply at thrivent.com. Once your application has been approved, Thrivent will send you a box of promotional supplies, volunteer t-shirts, and a $250 credit card to purchase supplies for the project. Gather your volunteers and complete the project. Finally, report back to Thrivent on the success of your project. Thrivent members can apply to lead two Action Teams per year, while associate members can apply once per year.
