Thrivent Financial is a non-profit organization that offers financial services to churches and individuals.
In 1899, in an era when Lutherans were forbidden to join fraternal societies and life insurance was frowned upon because it was seen as mistrusting God, Albert Voecks found two church members willing to give him an initial investment of $13 each to start an insurance fund just for Lutherans.
The three partners soon found 500 more people willing to invest $5 and the group received a charter from the state of Wisconsin in 1902, becoming the Aid Association for Lutherans.
Membership was initially limited to the Missouri Synod and its affiliates. In the late 1960’s membership was opened to all Lutherans. It was not until 2013 that the organization was opened to non-Lutheran Christians.
Today Thrivent Financial still operates on a not-for-profit basis, and serves 2.4 million members through its chapter system.
The company offers life insurance, mutual funds, and bank and trust services. Thrivent Financial has $90 billion in assets and is #342 in the Fortune 500. Its charitable foundation donated $182.7 million to organizations to strengthen families and communities in 2013.

I am the personal representative of the estate of Marceline L. Martin (DOB 5/18/1922 DOD 3/2/2020.) I found a document from 2018 indicating that she had a life insurance with Thrivent (Contract # 1276814) from 1962 until that date, with numerous paid up additions. I filed a death notification with your company in October, 2021, but have had no response from you. If the policy exists, I would like information on how to make a claim. If the policy has been cashed out or otherwise impacted, I would like the particulars.
I have a whole life payable at age 60 which is how old I am now. My father bought it for me in 1963. I called your office last week to get payout Information and the money that was suppose to accumulate with dividends does not exist. The illustration sent to me in 1986 shows that at age 60 it should be worth 22,000 give or take. I asked an agent to send me another illustration to me and the figure that I was suppose to get at age 60 is now the figure for age 94. My question is Why? What happened to my money. The agents could not help me with anything because he said all records are destroyed after 7 years, so my policy is non existent… this may be a something that a class action could handle not sure. I’ve made my payment yearly at $32 instead of letting the dividends pay it, thinking the policy would be worth more if I paid, which it should. I need the truth of what happened and why all the records were destroyed. My ID XXXXX6749. Policy/contract 770XXX. Issue date 6-1-1963. My birthdate 12/29/19**. I need an answer for this before I hire an attorney. sincerely, Lee Brown (Schires)
