About Heart of Illinois Associates
We're proud to be Thrivent financial professionals and even prouder to be serving in the Bloomington-Normal area.
Each of our qualified Financial Advisors lives, works, and volunteers right here in our community. At our office just off Eastland Drive in Bloomington, we provide personalized financial guidance to people at all stages of life, getting to know them and helping them accomplish their financial goals while supporting the causes that matter to them.
At Thrivent, we view money not as a goal itself, but as a tool that can afford you a life rich in meaning and gratitude. We believe humanity thrives when individuals make the most of all they've been given. We're here to help you do just that.
