About Thrive on Purpose

A Movement to See People. Share Love. Serve Neighbors.

Our Mission

Your church does an amazing job teaching people how to love God. Thrive on Purpose provides practical tools to help people live out that love every day. To See People. Share Love. Serve Neighbors.

As we spend time with the Lord through prayer, Scripture, see ourselves as He sees us, and listen for His direction, we are equipped to do what Jesus did: See People. Share Love. Serve Neighbors.

See People
Noticing and valuing others with intention

Share Love
Building genuine, caring relationships

Serve Neighbors
Responding to real needs in everyday life

It starts small—but it doesn’t stay small.

Our Mission

Nonprofits provide resources. Church small groups provide relationships. Thrive connects the two.

  • Nonprofits provide services, case management, and resources.
  • Thrive organizes church small groups to walk alongside clients relationally
  • Small groups offer encouragement, accountability, and consistent presence
  • Together, they create a fuller support system: resources + relationship + responsibility = results

Our Vision for the Church

When your church joins the Thrive on Purpose movement, you receive the tools, training, and support to help people move from simply attending church to living on mission every day.

Church & Nonprofit Partnership include materials to:

  • Transform a service project into a meaningful relationship-building opportunity. Move beyond meeting a need to creating connections that help people experience belonging.
  • Use Resources + Relationships + Personal Responsibility + Rewards = Results
  • Train 2 people to lead, recruit Thrive Partners who will serve and build relationships.
  • Provide guidance to create a culture of caring, connection, and encouragement.
  • Build strong partnerships with local nonprofits providing ongoing relational support for the people they serve.

The Thrive Discipleship Journey

A system for discipleship where for 19 weeks, two people meet together: in person, by phone, or online to:

  • Discover how much God loves them
  • Grow in their relationship with God
  • Understand their purpose
  • Study Scripture together
  • Encourage one another
  • Pray together

At the end of the journey, each person commits to walking with another person, continuing the cycle of connection and growth while being supported by their Thrive Partner.

Each participant covers the cost of their materials.

How Transformation Happens

We believe in the 2 x 2 Multiplication Model:
A simple way to follow Jesus’ example of making disciples through relationships

One person connects with one person
Two become four.
Four become eight.

The movement grows and through intentional multiplication through relationships, discipleship multiplies and communities are transformed.

The Story Behind Our Logo

At Thrive on Purpose, our logo reflects the very journey we invite others into.

The acorn represents potential—small beginnings with the power to grow into something strong and lasting.

The soil reminds us that growth is often unseen and sometimes messy. Roots form before results appear.

The tree reflects resilience, stability, and lasting impact—what happens when resources, relationships, and responsibility come together.

And the bee is a deeply personal symbol. Decades ago, the founder’s husband recognized her unique ability to connect, build, and multiply, affectionately calling her “my bumblebee.” That identity has shaped a lifetime of bringing people together and helping communities flourish.

Together, these elements tell a story of seeds planted, growth nurtured, and lives transformed through purposeful, faithful work.

What We Believe

The Apostles’ Creed

I believe in God,
the Father almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth,
and 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;
on 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 catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting.
Amen.
