Our Story
About East Metro Team
The East Metro Team isn’t an office full of people you meet just once or twice. We’re here to make sure the financial guidance process is based on your goals and values. You’ll get to know the whole team as you schedule your appointments, build and implement a plan, call with questions, attend our social events, lead a Thrivent Action Team and introduce us to your friends and family. We’ll help you make decisions around your insurance, investing and retirement planning needs by getting to know what really matters to you. Our mission is to guide Christians to be wise with money so they can live more content, confident, and generous lives.

Thrivent Presents "Playing for Something Bigger: An Exclusive Interview with Jesse & Emily Cole" | Savannah, GA

Nov 19, 2026, 11:00 PM UTC
The Gingerbread House, 1921 Bull St, Savannah, GA 31401
What does it mean to “play for something bigger”? We recently explored that question with Jesse and Emily Cole of the Savannah Bananas. Their story is well known for redefining baseball—but what stood out most in this conversation was their growing commitment to generosity through Bananas Foster, their nonprofit supporting foster care awareness. It’s a powerful example of what happens when leadership, culture, and purpose come together.
