Overview of the
Contract
What is
the Contract,
and what is it designed to do?
The Contract is an individual flexible premium deferred variable annuity contract intended to help you accumulate assets for retirement or other long-term goals, through an investment in one or more Portfolios and the Fixed Account. When you are ready to take money out of the annuity, the Contract offers withdrawals on an ad hoc or systematic basis, as well as the option of electing from several types of annuity payments (Settlement Options). A Settlement Option can be guaranteed for a set timeframe or for your lifetime. There is also an optional Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit (GLWB) Rider, which you may add for an additional charge. With a GLWB Rider you may take out guaranteed withdrawal amounts for life, as long as you do not exceed the specified amount permitted. The Contract offers a Standard Death Benefit if an Owner dies before the Maximum Annuity Date. For an additional charge, you may purchase an optional death benefit, the Maximum Anniversary Death Benefit (MADB) Rider, which may increase the death benefit if the Owner dies before the Maximum Annuity Date. After any Annuity Date, amounts payable from that annuitized portion, if any, depend upon the terms of the Settlement Option.

What are the phases of the Contract?
The Contract has two phases, the accumulation phase and the income phase. During the accumulation phase, you may make one or more premium payments and transfer Accumulated Value between the various investment options and the Fixed Account , subject to some limitations. Additional information about the available Subaccounts can be found in Appendix A at the end of this document. If you have the GLWB Rider, investment restrictions can be found in Appendix B. The income phase begins when we begin to make payments to you. If you elect to annuitize, you may have all or part of your Contract’s Accumulated Value converted into guaranteed annuity payments (a Settlement Option). Once you move to a Settlement Option, you may or may not have a death benefit or be able to take additional withdrawals, depending on the Settlement Option you choose.

What are the Contract’s
primary features?
Investment Options: The Contract provides the opportunity for tax-deferred growth by allocating the
Accumulated Value to a
variety of investment options and the Fixed Account. For the current Fixed Account interest rate, please call our Service Center at 1-800-847-4836.
Tax
Treatment: The premium payments you put into the Contract
have the potential to accumulate on a tax-deferred basis. This means earnings are not taxed until money is
paid out of the Contract.
Dollar Cost Averaging: You may choose one of two different Dollar Cost Averaging Programs that allow you to have automatic periodic transfers made
to one or more of the variable Portfolios. Either
Dollar Cost Averaging Program allows such investments to be made in installments over time. The minimum premium necessary to establish a Dollar Cost Averaging Program is $10,000.
Asset Rebalancing: You may choose
the Automatic Asset Rebalancing Program, which transfers your Accumulated Value among variable Portfolios on a regular basis according to your instructions. This can help you select a specific asset allocation and maintain it over time. If you have the GLWB Rider, quarterly Asset Rebalancing will happen automatically, if
needed, to conform with the GLWB investment restrictions.
Death Benefits: We will pay Death
Proceeds upon the death of an Owner, or the annuitant
if the Owner is a Non-Natural Person. The Death Benefit is calculated at the end of the Valuation Period during which we receive at our Service Center a certified copy of
the death certificate, or other lawful evidence providing equivalent information. The amount of the Death
4
Benefit is the greater of the
Accumulated Value or the Standard Death Benefit. Once calculated, Death Proceeds payable to a beneficiary may continue to be subject to the investment experience of the Subaccounts until that beneficiary submits a claim
form in good order.
Settlement Options: You may elect to convert all or some of your
Accumulated Value into guaranteed annuity payments from us. A death benefit, if any, would then depend on the option selected.
What optional benefits are available for an additional cost?
Maximum Anniversary Death Benefit (MADB) Rider: The MADB Rider provides for a death benefit calculation that takes into account the highest
Accumulated Value on any Contract Anniversary up to Contract Age 80,
adjusted for any premiums or surrenders made after the anniversary. The Death Benefit is calculated at the end of
the valuation period during which we receive at our Service
Center a certified copy of the death certificate, or other lawful evidence providing equivalent
information. The Death Benefit will be the highest of the Accumulated Value, Standard Death Benefit, or the MADB Rider benefit. Once calculated, the death proceeds continue to be subject to the investment experience of the Subaccounts. When a beneficiary provides a claim form in good order, that beneficiary's share of the death proceeds will be removed
from the market.
Thrivent Income Builder - Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit (GLWB) Rider: The GLWB Rider provides
for guaranteed annual withdrawal amounts for as long as you live, even if your Contract’s value is depleted by these
guaranteed withdrawals. If you have this rider, your allocations to the Subaccounts will be restricted to two options: the Asset
Allocation Option or the Custom Option. On the Date of Issue, you will have a GLWB Benefit Base equal to your initial premium. Thereafter, your GLWB Benefit Base will be adjusted for
additional premiums. The more your GLWB Benefit Base grows, the higher guaranteed amount you will have when you begin taking withdrawals. The GLWB Benefit Base is limited to a maximum amount of $30 million. You have the potential to grow your
Benefit Base and increase your lifetime withdrawals in three ways:
Credits – If
there are no withdrawals in the Contract Year,
the Benefit Base will increase by a Credit Amount for 10 years, or up to Contract age 80, if sooner. The GLWB Credit Percentage is multiplied by your current Credit Base. Initially, the Credit Base is equal to the premium paid, and is increased by additional premiums paid. The Credit Base
is also adjusted for any excess withdrawals taken.
Step-ups - If your Contract’s value is greater than your Benefit Base on your Contract Anniversary, the Benefit Base steps up to
the new Accumulated Value and is locked in
as your new Benefit Base. The Credit Base is increased to equal the stepped up Benefit Base.
• Your future annual credits will then be based off
your new Credit Base following a step-up.
• A new 10-year crediting period starts.
Guaranteed Minimum - If you haven’t taken any withdrawals in the first 12 years or until you reach age 71 (whichever is later), your
Benefit Base is guaranteed to be a specified percentage (see Rate Sheet) of first year premiums plus a specified percentage (see
Rate Sheet) of all other premiums.
The first
time you take a withdrawal, a calculation occurs to determine the amount you can withdraw each Contract Year, without affecting your future guarantees. This amount is called the Guaranteed Annual Withdrawal Amount (GAWA). This initial GAWA is calculated by applying a Guaranteed Withdrawal Percentage to your Benefit Base. While you may
withdraw more than the GAWA in a Contract
Year, an additional withdrawal can result in a GLWB Excess Surrender, thereby reducing your future
guarantees.
The GAWA may change from year to year depending on whether the Benefit Base was increased or decreased as a result of GLWB
Excess Surrenders. Withdrawals of the GAWA are taxed in the same manner as partial surrenders under the Contract.
Please see the statutory prospectus for more information
and examples of how this rider works.

Location in
Statutory
Prospectus | |||
| Are There Charges
or Adjustments for
Early Withdrawals? |
Yes. If you withdraw money from the Contract
within 7 years of your last premium payment, you may be assessed a Surrender Charge. Each
premium payment will have its own 7-year
Surrender Charge. The maximum
Surrender
Charge is 7% during the first two years and decreases by 1% for the next five years. If you make an early withdrawal, you could pay a
Surrender Charge of up to $7,000 on a $100,000 investment. This loss will be
greater if there are taxes and tax penalties.
Surrender Charges apply only to amounts that exceed the greatest of 10% of
the Accumulated Value existing at the time the first surrender is
made in a Contract Year, the Contract’s earnings or any
Required Minimum Distribution. |

Asset Rebalancing Programs), you will incur a $25 transfer charge.
You will also pay a charge if you request a wire transfer of funds from your
Contract

charge a fee to receive a wire. You will also pay a charge if you request to

If your Contract is issued in connection with an IRA, the minimum acceptable premium is $2,000. A minimum premium of $25,000 is required to add the Thrivent Income Builder Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit (GLWB) Rider. We may, at our discretion, waive this initial premium requirement.

We will allocate your initial premium among the Subaccount(s) and/or the Fixed Account according to your application. Any amount of your initial premium which you allocate to a Subaccount will be credited to your Contract with a number of
Accumulation Units of that Subaccount based on the Subaccount’s Accumulation Unit Value at the end of that Valuation Period. Subsequent allocations to a Subaccount will be credited with a number of Accumulation Units of that Subaccount based
on the Subaccount’s Accumulation Unit Value at the end of the Valuation Period when the allocation is made. Absent further instructions, subsequent premiums will be allocated
according to your application. You may change the allocation percentages for future premiums without charge and at any time by giving us Notice. Unless specifically designated otherwise, any change will apply to all future premiums unless you request another change.

Withdrawals must be for at least $200 and must not reduce the remaining Accumulated Value in the Contract to less than $2,000.

What are the negative impacts of a withdrawal on other benefits and guarantees of your Contract?
Partial withdrawals reduce the amount of the death benefit payable to your designated beneficiaries during the Accumulation Phase. If you have the optional death benefit (MADB Rider), withdrawals decrease the MADB benefit by the same proportion as the Accumulated Value is decreased by the withdrawal. This may reduce the MADB benefit by an amount greater than the value withdrawn or could terminate the benefit.

This may reduce the MADB benefit by an amount greater than the value withdrawn or could terminate the benefit.
A GLWB
Excess Surrender may reduce the GLWB Benefit Base and the Guaranteed Annual Withdrawal Amount by more than the amount of the GLWB Excess Surrender.
Are there tax consequences if I take a surrender or withdrawal?
You should consult with a tax professional to determine the tax implications of an investment in or a surrender or withdrawal from the Contract. There is no additional tax benefit if the Contract is purchased through an IRA. The taxable portion of withdrawals will be subject to ordinary income tax and may be subject to a 10% federal tax penalty if under age

Additional Information About
Fees
The following tables describe the fees and expenses that
you will pay when buying, owning, and surrendering or making withdrawals from an Investment Option or from the
Contract. Please refer to your
Contract specifications page for information about the specific fees you will pay each year based on the options you have elected.
The first table describes the fees and expenses that you will pay at the time that you buy the
Contract, surrender or make withdrawals from an Investment
Option or from the Contract, or transfer
Accumulated Value between
Investment Options. State premium taxes do not apply.

| Transfer Charge2 |

1We may assess a
Surrender Charge for partial surrenders or surrenders that exceed the greatest of the 10% free surrender amount, contract earnings, or Required Minimum Distribution. Each premium payment will have its own 7-year Surrender Charge schedule. Earnings
in the Contract are removed first and always without
a Surrender Charge. Then, premiums are removed from
the Contract on a first-in, first-out basis and are assessed Surrender Charge
s based on full years since allocation. The Surrender
Charge is 7% during the first two years and decreases by 1% for the next five years.
2You are allowed 24 transfers each Contract Year
without a Transfer Charge. Transfers in excess of 24 will incur a $25 fee. Be advised additional transfers may be
subject to our frequent trading policies.
If you choose to purchase
an optional benefit, you will pay additional charges, as shown below.
You may only add an optional benefit at the time of application and can only select the MADB Rider or the GLWB Rider. You may not select both.

3We will charge an Administrative Expense on each
Contract Anniversary. We will waive the charge on any anniversary when the Accumulated Value is at least $50,000.
4The Mortality and Expense Risk Charge pending payout due to a death claim is based on the average daily net assets of the Variable Account and is equal to an annual rate of 0.95%.
5The MADB Charge is the charge for this Rider. The MADB
Charge will be calculated on each Rider Quarterly Anniversary. It will be calculated as the MADB multiplied by the Maximum Anniversary Death Benefit (MADB) Charge Rate, divided by
four, and withdrawn quarterly. The first charge will be deducted on the first Rider Quarterly Anniversary for the three-month period that started on the Rider Date of Issue. Thereafter, the charge for each three-month period will be deducted on the Rider Quarterly Anniversary immediately after that three-month period.
6The charge is multiplied by the GLWB Benefit Base,
divided by four, and withdrawn quarterly. The first charge will be deducted on the first Rider Quarterly Anniversary for the three-month period that started on the Rider Date of
Issue. Thereafter, the charge for each three-month period will be deducted on the Rider Quarterly Anniversary immediately after that three-month period. The current charge for new elections for the GLWB Rider is disclosed in a GLWB Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement.

As a fraternal benefit society, Thrivent is also required to have a Maintenance
of Solvency provision that could require you to pay us an amount to maintain our financial strength. For a

The next item shows the minimum and maximum total operating expenses charged by the
Portfolio Companies that you may pay periodically during the time that you own the Contract. Expenses shown may change over time and may be higher or lower in the future. A complete list of the Portfolio Companies available under the

The “Expenses after reimbursements and/or fee waivers” line in the above table shows the minimum and maximum fees and expenses charged by all of the Portfolios after taking into account contractual fee waiver or reimbursement arrangements in place. Those contractual arrangements are
designed to reduce Annual Portfolio Company Expenses and will continue for at least one year from the date of this prospectus.
Example
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Variable Options with the cost of investing in other annuity contract that offer variable options. These costs include transaction expenses, annual
Contract expenses and Annual Portfolio Company Expenses.
The Example assumes all Contract value is allocated to the
Variable Options. Your costs could differ from those shown below if you invest in the Fixed Account.
The Example
assumes that you invest $100,000 in the Variable Options for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5%
return each year and assumes the most expensive combination of Annual Portfolio Company Expenses and optional benefits available for an additional charge. Although your costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be8:

(b) Fixed Account Investment
Option Available Under the Contract
Premiums and
Accumulated Value may be allocated to or transferred to the
Fixed Account. We reserve the right to limit
allocations or transfers to the Fixed Account
. The amount transferred from the Fixed Account
in any Contract Year may not exceed the greater of $500 or 25% of the Accumulated Value in the Fixed Account, excluding any Accumulated Value in the DCA Fixed Account, at the
time the first transfer is made in that Contract Year.
Amounts held in the Fixed Account are invested with our General Account. The interest rates for amounts in the Fixed Account depend on the date of allocation or
transfer to the Fixed Account. We guarantee
that the initial interest rate for each amount allocated or transferred to the Fixed Account will be effective for at least twelve months, and subsequent interest rates will not be changed more often than once every twelve months. The effective annual interest rate will never
be less than the Fixed Account Guaranteed Minimum Interest Rate shown in your Contract. At our discretion, we may credit interest
in excess of the guaranteed interest rate.
For the current interest rate, please call our Service Center
at 1-800-847-4836. The date of allocation or transfer is the date that interest begins to accrue. Interest is
compounded daily. Interest guarantees are subject to Thrivent’s claims-paying ability.

Subaccount.
The Custom Option has five different groups with a specified minimum or maximum percentage
of premium or Accumulated Value that can be allocated to each group. You select the percentages of premium or Accumulated Value to allocate to Subaccounts within each group. Each option is also subject to automatic quarterly asset rebalancing.

At our discretion, we may credit interest in excess of the guaranteed interest rate. For the current interest rate, please
