About Agape Financial Associates
Our name is derived from the Greek word "Agape" (AH-GOP-A) meaning selfless love, unconditional care and concern for others.
This concept of love puts emphasis on the act of giving without expecting anything in return.
We are driven by this type of love which desires to see you flourish and experience the joy and fulfillment that is found in Christ.
We work with you to teach you how to understand that money can be a tool to help you live generously.
"Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance." 1 Corinthians 13:7 NLT

As a longtime Thrivent member, I appreciate my role as a financial advisor. I understand how important planning for the future is to ensure one’s overall financial security.
My passion for helping people be wise with money stems from the time I spent helping my aging parents make crucial financial decisions.
It was during this time that I discovered how important it is to bring families together and establish a financial plan that takes into account the various needs we encounter as we age.
God has blessed me abundantly with a fantastic family that has been with me through the ups and downs in life. My wife and I have been married for 44 years. We have two married children and love spending time with our grandchildren. I understand the need to safeguard your family’s financial security throughout all stages of life because I had to walk through those important decisions for my own family.
I specialize in the following areas:
- Long Term Care (CLTC)
- Tax Efficient Legacy Planning
- Retirement Income Planning (RICP)
- Generosity Planning
- Dedicated Planning Services

David Cramer
FIC
In 2014 I joined Thrivent as a financial representative after retiring from 21 years of service in the United States Navy. I transitioned into a corporate training specialist position in 2016, where I provided training, support, and guidance for financial advisors across the state of Michigan. In 2018, I became a regional learning specialist covering the Southeastern United States. I focused on onboarding, training, and coaching new financial representatives to run successful practices. As rewarding as this work was, I missed the personal relationships I held with my clients.
It is truly my honor to join Agape Financial Associates. Not only is this a talented team of passionate service-driven financial professionals, but they are driven by a higher purpose at their core. We are truly honored that God gives us the opportunity to help people build dreams with a plan to achieve them.
