(h)

Registrant’s audit committee has considered the non-audit services provided to the registrant and registrant’s investment adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with registrant’s investment adviser as described above and determined that these services do not compromise Cohen’s independence.

	Other Registered Investment Companies		Other Pooled Investment Vehicles		Other Accounts

Meg G. Spangler	0	$0	0	$0	1	$903,391,675

Portfolio managers at the investment adviser (“Thrivent Asset Mgt.”) of the registrant typically manage multiple accounts. These accounts may include, among others, mutual funds, proprietary accounts and separate accounts (assets managed on behalf of pension funds, foundations and other investment accounts). The management of multiple funds and accounts may give rise to potential conflicts of interest if the funds and accounts have different objectives, benchmarks, time horizons, and fees.

In addition, the side-by-side management of these funds and accounts may raise potential conflicts of interest relating to cross trading, the allocation of investment opportunities and the aggregation and allocation of trades. Thrivent Asset Mgt. seeks to provide best execution of all securities transactions and aggregate and then allocate securities to client accounts in a fair and timely manner. To this end, Thrivent Asset Mgt. has developed policies and procedures designed to mitigate and manage the potential conflicts of interest that may arise from side-by-side management. The information regarding potential conflicts of interest was provided by Thrivent Asset Mgt. and is current as of May 28, 2021.

(a)(3)     The following is a description provided by Thrivent Asset Mgt. regarding the structure of and criteria for determining the compensation of the Portfolio Managers as of March 31, 2021.

Each Portfolio Manager of Thrivent Asset Mgt. is compensated by an annual base salary and an annual bonus, in addition to the various benefits that are available to all employees of Thrivent Financial. The annual base salary for each portfolio manager is a fixed amount that is determined annually according to the level of responsibility and performance. The annual bonus provides for a variable payment that is attributable to loan origination volume and yield targets as well as loan quality measures (e.g., delinquency, loan losses). Some Portfolio Managers also participate in Thrivent Financial’s long-term incentive plan, which provides for an additional variable payment based on the extent to which Thrivent Financial met corporate goals during the previous three-year period.

(a)(4)     The following table provides information as of March 31, 2021 on the dollar range of beneficial ownership by each Portfolio Manager in the registrant.

Dear

Shareholder:

2

My

family

and

I

attended

church

in

person,

in

our

sanctuary,

for

the

first

time

in

roughly

a

year

on

Good

Friday.

This

small

Good

Friday

service

was

in

the

evening,

just

as

the

sun

was

setting.

There

is

a

large

window

in

our

church

that

looks

out

to

a

big

wooden

cross

outside.

During

appropriately

somber

Good

Friday

worship,

we

watched

the

sun

go

down

over

the

cross

and

the

world

get

dark.

But,

of

course,

Good

Friday

is

not

the

end

of

the

Easter

story.

We

know

that

death

and

darkness

do

not

have

the

last

word

and

look

forward

to

the

resurrection

Easter

morning.

The

much

larger

Easter

service

we

attended

was

held

outside

in

the

church’s

parking

lot.

For

the

past

year,

we

had

attended

a

mixture

of

online

and

outdoor

services.

Fortunately,

this

Easter

Sunday

in

Minnesota

was

sunny

with

a

high

temperature

in

the

70’s

(unusual

weather

for

April

in

Minnesota

which,

in

recent

years,

has

involved

a

large

measure

of

snow).  

Throughout

the

pandemic,

our

church

did

a

nice

job

with

the

outdoor

services.

We

had

borrowed

a

hay

van

from

a

local

landscaping

business

that

served

as

a

platform

for

the

pastors

and

musicians

(to

laughs

and

groans

from

our

congregation,

our

pastor

referred

to

the

improvised

steps

up

to

the

platform

as

the

“stairway

to

hay

van”).

But

like

many

of

you,

I’m

sure,

I

missed

having

everyone

in

the

sanctuary

regularly

and

especially

for

Easter

worship.

I

thought

of

the

Thrivent

Church

Loan

and

Income

Fund

as

I

was

looking

out

at

our

church

that

Easter

morning.

I

reflected

on

what

the

church

and,

yes,

the

church

building

itself

meant

to

me:

early

morning

finance

committee

meetings

in

our

conference

room,

teaching

confirmation

and,

of

course,

worship

and

fellowship.  

I

also

reflected

on

a

significant

addition

that

our

church

made

to

the

building

about

15

years

ago,

which

was

when

my

family

moved

to

Minnesota

and

I

joined

Thrivent.

We

took

out

a

loan

to

invest

in

the

church’s

ministry

and

mission

and

after

several

capital

campaigns

have

largely

paid

it

off.

One

major

addition

was

our

Great

Hall,

which

is

a

fancy

name

for

a

big

multi-use

space

that

is

used

for

everything

from

our

annual

spaghetti

dinner

to

raise

money

for

youth

mission

trips

to

basketball

and

more

recently

pickleball.

I

can’t

imagine

our

church

without

the

new

space.

The

purpose

of

your

Thrivent

Church

Loan

and

Income

Fund

is

to

make

capital

available

to

churches

like

ours

throughout

the

country

to

grow

their

ministries

and

thrive

in

their

missions

and

outreach.

That

Easter

morning

service

I

wore

my

bright

teal

sport

coat.

I

commented

to

our

pastor

that

it

was

the

only

day

I

could

really

feel

comfortable

in

the

teal

jacket.

The

pastor,

who

had

previously

been

dressed

in

solid

black

for

Good

Friday

but

was

now

in

an

equally

bright

coral

shirt,

said

“I

feel

the

same

way

about

this

shirt!”

It

was

an

Easter

that

was

as

joyful

as

every

other.

Because

whether

inside

or

outside,

we

were

able

to

worship

our

risen

Lord

and

celebrate

His

resurrection.

That

sunny

Easter

morning

was

a

reminder

that

death

and

darkness

do

not

have

the

last

word.

And

we

can

look

forward

in

the

coming

days

and

months

to

worshiping

together

and

enjoying

fellowship

in

our

churches

once

again.

Thank

you

for

your

support

of

the

Thrivent

Church

Loan

and

Income

Fund

and

Easter

blessings

to

you,

your

families

and

your

communities

throughout

the

year.

Sincerely,

David

Thrivent Church

Loan

and

Income

Fund

Investing

involves

risk.

Before

investing,

consider

the

Fund's

investment

objectives,

risks,

charges

and

expenses.

Go

to

ThriventlntervalFunds.com

for

a

prospectus

containing

this

information

and

read

it

carefully.

The

Church

Loan

and

Income

Fund

invests

primarily

in

church

loans

and

mortgage-backed

securities.

Church

loans

are

mortgages

taken

out

by

non-profit

organizations

with

a

Christian

mission,

or

bonds

issued

by

these

organizations.

They

are

typically

not

listed

on

any

national

securities

exchange

and

no

active

trading

market

exists

for

them,

so

are

considered

illiquid.

These

and

other

risks

are

described

in

the

Fund's

prospectus.

The

Fund

is

a

closed-end

"interval

fund."

Limited

liquidity

is

provided

to

shareholders

only

through

the

Fund's

quarterly

offers

to

repurchase

between

5%

to

25%

of

its

outstanding

shares

at

net

asset

value

(subject

to

applicable

laws

and

approval

of

the

Board

of

Trustees).

There

is

no

secondary

market

for

the

Fund's

shares

and

none

is

expected

to

develop.

Investors

should

consider

shares

of

the

Fund

to

be

an

illiquid

investment.

Shareholder

Expense

Example

(unaudited)

As

a

shareholder

of

the

Fund,

you

incur

ongoing

costs,

including

management

fees

and

other

Fund

expenses.

This

Example

is

intended

to

help

you

understand

your

ongoing

costs

(in

dollars)

of

investing

in

the

Fund

and

to

compare

these

costs

with

the

ongoing

costs

of

investing

in

other

mutual

funds.

The

Example

is

based

on

an

investment

of

$1,000

invested

at

the

beginning

of

the

period

and

held

for

the

entire

period

from

October

1,

2020

through

March

31,

2021.

Actual

Expenses

In

the

table

below,

the

first

line

provides

information

about

actual

account

values

and

actual

expenses.

You

may

use

the

information

in

this

line,

together

with

the

amount

you

invested,

to

estimate

the

expenses

that

you

paid

over

the

period.

Simply

divide

your

account

value

by

$1,000

(for

example,

an

$8,600

account

value

divided

by

$1,000

=

8.6),

then

multiply

the

result

by

the

number

in

the

first

line

under

the

heading

entitled

"Expenses

Paid

during

Period"

to

estimate

the

expenses

you

paid

on

your

account

during

the

period.

Hypothetical

Example

for

Comparison

Purposes

In

the

table

below,

the

second

line

provides

information

about

hypothetical

account

values

and

hypothetical

expenses

based

on

the

Fund's

actual

expense

ratio

and

an

assumed

rate

of

return

of

5%

per

year

before

expenses,

which

is

not

the

Fund's

actual

return.

The

hypothetical

account

values

and

expenses

may

not

be

used

to

estimate

the

actual

ending

account

balance

or

expenses

you

paid

for

the

period.

You

may

use

this

information

to

compare

the

ongoing

costs

of

investing

in

this

Fund

and

other

funds.

To

do

so,

compare

this

5%

hypothetical

example

with

the

5%

hypothetical

example

that

appears

in

the

shareholder

reports

of

the

other

Opinion

on

the

Financial

Statements

We

have

audited

the

accompanying

statement

of

assets

and

liabilities,

including

the

schedule

of

investments,

of

Thrivent

Church

Loan

and

Income

Fund

(the

“Fund”)

as

of

March

31,

2021,

the

related

statements

of

operations

and

cash

flows

for

the

year

then

ended,

the

statements

of

changes

in

net

assets

for

each

of

the

two

years

in

the

period

then

ended,

the

related

notes,

and

the

financial

highlights

for

each

of

the

three

periods

in

the

period

then

ended

(collectively

referred

to

as

the

“financial

statements”).

In

our

opinion,

the

financial

statements

present

fairly,

in

all

material

respects,

the

financial

position

of

the

Fund

as

of

March

31,

2021,

the

results

of

its

operations

and

its

cash

flows

for

the

year

then

ended,

the

changes

in

net

assets

for

each

of

the

two

years

in

the

period

then

ended,

and

the

financial

highlights

for

each

of

the

three

periods

in

the

period

then

ended,

in

conformity

with

accounting

principles

generally

accepted

in

the

United

States

of

America.

Basis

for

Opinion

These

financial

statements

are

the

responsibility

of

the

Fund’s

management.

Our

responsibility

is

to

express

an

opinion

on

the

Fund’s

financial

statements

based

on

our

audits.

We

are

a

public

accounting

firm

registered

with

the

Public

Company

Accounting

Oversight

Board

(United

States)

(“PCAOB”)

and

are

required

to

be

independent

with

respect

to

the

Fund

in

accordance

with

the

U.S.

federal

securities

laws

and

the

applicable

rules

and

regulations

of

the

Securities

and

Exchange

Commission

and

the

PCAOB.

We

conducted

our

audits

in

accordance

with

the

standards

of

the

PCAOB.

Those

standards

require

that

we

plan

and

perform

the

audit

to

obtain

reasonable

assurance

about

whether

the

financial

statements

are

free

of

material

misstatement

whether

due

to

error

or

fraud.

Our

audits

included

performing

procedures

to

assess

the

risks

of

material

misstatement

of

the

financial

statements,

whether

due

to

error

or

fraud,

and

performing

procedures

that

respond

to

those

risks.

Such

procedures

included

examining,

on

a

test

basis,

evidence

regarding

the

amounts

and

disclosures

in

the

financial

statements.

Our

procedures

included

confirmation

of

securities

owned

as

of

March

31,

2021,

by

correspondence

with

the

custodian,

counterparties,

and

brokers.

Our

audits

also

included

evaluating

the

accounting

principles

used

and

significant

estimates

made

by

management,

as

well

as

evaluating

the

overall

presentation

of

the

financial

statements.

We

believe

that

our

audits

provide

a

reasonable

basis

for

our

opinion.

We

have

served

as

the

Fund’s

auditor

since

2018.

(1) ORGANIZATION

Thrivent

Church

Loan

and

Income

Fund

(the

“Fund”)

was

organized

as

a

Delaware

statutory

trust

on

October

23,

2017

and

is

registered

under

the

Investment

Company

Act

of

1940,

as

amended

(the

"1940

Act"),

as

a

non-diversified,

closed-end

management

investment

company

that

continuously

offers

its

shares

of

beneficial

interest

(the

"Shares"). 

The

Fund

currently

offers

one

class

of

Shares:

Class

S. 

The

Fund

has

authorized

an

unlimited

amount

of

Shares

with

no

par

value,

at

net

asset

value

("NAV")

per

Share. 

The

Fund

seeks

to

produce

income. 

 The

Fund

operates

as

an

interval

fund

pursuant

to

which it

conducts

quarterly

repurchase

offers

for

Shares,

which

are

for

between

5%

and

25%

of

the

Fund's

outstanding

Shares

at

NAV,

subject

to

approval

of

the

Fund's

Board

of

Trustees

("Board"). 

It

is

possible

that

a

repurchase

offer

may

be

oversubscribed,

with

the

result

that

shareholders

may

only

be

able

to

have

a

portion

of

their

Shares

repurchased. 

There

is

no

assurance

that

a

shareholder

will

be

able

to

tender

their

Shares

at

the

time

or

amount

desired. 

Shares

are

not

otherwise

redeemable. 

Quarterly

repurchase

offers

will

occur

in

the

months

of

March,

June,

September

and

December.

The Shares

are

not

listed

and

the

Fund

does

not

currently

intend

to

list

its

Shares

for

trading

on

any

national

securities

exchange. 

There

is

currently

no

secondary

market

for

its

Shares,

and

the

Fund

does

not

expect

a

secondary

market

in

its

Shares

to

develop. 

Even

though

the

Fund

makes

quarterly

repurchase

offers

for

Shares,

investors

should

consider

Shares

of

the

Fund

to

be

a

less liquid

investment.

The

Fund is an

investment

company that

follows

the

accounting

and

reporting

guidance

of

the

Financial

Accounting

Standards

Board

("FASB")

Accounting

Standards

Codification

Topic

946

–

"Financial

Services

–

Investment

Companies".

Under

the Fund's

organizational

documents,

its

officers

and

trustees

are

indemnified

against

certain

liabilities

arising

out

of

the

performance

of

their

duties

to

the

Fund.

In

addition,

in

the

normal

course

of

business,

the Fund

enters

into

contracts

with

service

providers

and

others

that

provide

general

indemnification

clauses.

The

Fund's

maximum

exposure

under

these

contracts

is

unknown,

as

this

would

involve

future

claims

that

may

be

made

against

the

Fund.

However,

based

on

experience,

the

Fund

expects

the

risk

of

loss

to

be

remote.

SIGNIFICANT

ACCOUNTING

POLICIES

Valuation

of

Investments 

—

The

Board

has

authorized

the

Fund's

Investment

Adviser,

Thrivent

Asset

Management,

LLC

("Thrivent

Asset

Mgt."

or

the

"Adviser"),

to

make

fair

valuation

determinations

pursuant

to

policies

approved

by

the

Board

and

is

in

accordance

with

fair

valuation

accounting

standards. 

The

Fund

has

adopted

fair

valuation

accounting

standards

which

establish

an

authoritative

definition

of

fair

value

and

set out

a

hierarchy

for

measuring

fair

value.

Securities

traded

on

U.S.

or

foreign

securities

exchanges

or

included

in

a

national

market

system

are

valued

at

the

last

sale

price

on

the

principal

exchange

as

of

the

close

of

regular

trading

on

such

exchange

or

the

official

closing

price

of

the

national

market

system.  Over-the-counter

securities

and

listed

securities

for

which

no

price

is

readily

available

are

valued

at

the

current

bid

price

considered

best

to

represent

the

value

at

that

time.

Security

prices

are

based

on

quotes

that

are

obtained

from

an

independent

pricing

service

approved

by

the

Fund’s

Board.

The

pricing

service,

in

determining

values

of

fixed-income

securities,

takes

into

consideration

such

factors

as

current

quotations

by

broker/dealers,

coupon,

maturity,

quality,

type

of

issue,

trading

characteristics,

and

other

yield

and

risk

factors

it

deems

relevant

in

determining

valuations.

Securities

which

cannot

be

valued

by

the

approved

pricing

service

are

valued

using

valuations

obtained

from

dealers

that

make

markets

in

the

securities. Investments

in

open-ended

mutual

funds

are

valued

at

the

net

asset

value

per

share

as

a

practical

expedient at

the

close

of

each

business

day.

    All

church

loan

valuations

are

considered

fair

valuations

due

to

the

lack

of

observable

market

activity

or

independent

market

quotes. 

There

are

no

market

prices

available

for

church

loans. 

The Adviser

has

approved

two

methodologies

for

fair

valuing

church

loans:

a

Market

Approach

or

an

Income

Approach. 

The

Market

Approach

utilizes

a

process

that

takes

into

consideration

factors

including

principal

amount,

interest

rate,

term,

credit

quality

of

the

borrower,

prepayment

speeds, and

credit

spreads

based

on

market

transactions. 

The

Income

Approach

is

utilized

when

it

is

probable

that

the

church

loan

will

become

subject

to

foreclosure

and

takes

into

consideration

factors

including

the

estimated

value

of

property

securing

the

loan,

estimated

cost

of

disposition

of

the

property

and

estimated

time

to

dispose

of

the

property. 

The Board

may

use

a

third

party

vendor

to

execute

the

daily

valuation

methodology

or

the

Valuation

Committee

("Committee"),

further

described

below,

may

make

a

fair

valuation

determination.

The

Board

has

delegated

responsibility

for

daily

valuation

of

the

Fund's

securities

to

the Adviser.

The

Adviser

has

formed

a Committee

that

is

responsible

for

overseeing

the

Fund's

valuation process

in

accordance

with

Valuation

Policies

and

Procedures.

The

Committee

meets monthly

and

on

an

as-needed

basis

to

review

price

challenges,

price

overrides,

stale

prices,

shadow

prices,

manual

prices, and

other

securities

requiring

fair

valuation. 

The

Committee

monitors significant

events

occurring

prior

to

the

close

of

trading

on

the

New

York

Stock

Exchange

that

could

have

a

material

impact

on

the

value

of

any

securities

that

are

held

by

the

Fund.

Examples

of

such

events

include

trading

halts,

national

news/events,

and

issuer-specific

developments.

If

the

Committee

decides

that

such

events

warrant the

use

of fair

value

estimates,

the

Committee

will

take

such

events

into

consideration

in

determining

the

fair

value

of

such

securities.

If

market

quotations

or

prices

are

not

readily

available

or

are

determined

to

be

unreliable,

the

securities

will

be

valued

at

fair

value

as

determined

in

good

faith

pursuant

to

procedures

adopted

by

the

Board.

In

accordance

with

accounting

principles

generally

accepted

in

the

United

States

of

America

("GAAP"),

the

various

inputs

used

to

Thrivent

Church

Loan

and

Income

Fund

Notes

to

Financial

Statements

March

31,

determine

the

fair

value

of

the

Fund's

investments

are

summarized

in

three

broad

levels.  Level

1

includes

quoted

prices

in

active

markets

for

identical

securities,

typically

included

in

this

level

are

U.S.

equity

securities,

futures,

options

and

registered

investment

company

funds.  Level

2

includes

other

significant

observable

inputs

such

as

quoted

prices

for

similar

securities,

interest

rates,

prepayment

speeds

and

credit

risk,

typically

included

in

this

level

are

fixed

income

securities,

international

securities,

swaps

and

forward

contracts.  Level

3

includes

significant

unobservable

inputs

such

as

the

Adviser’s

own

assumptions

and

broker

evaluations

in

determining

the

fair

value

of

investments.

The

valuation

levels

are

not

necessarily

an

indication

of

the

risk

associated

with

investing

in

these

securities

or

other

investments. 

Investments

measured

using

net

asset

value

per

share

as

a

practical

expedient

for

fair

value

and

that

are

not

publicly

available

for

sale

are

not

categorized

within

the

fair

value

hierarchy.

Federal

Income Taxes 

—

No

provision

has

been

made

for

income

taxes

because

the

Fund’s

policy

is

to

qualify

as

a

regulated

investment

company

under

the

Internal

Revenue

Code

and

distribute

substantially

all

investment

company

taxable

income

and

net

capital

gain

on

a

timely

basis.

It

is

also

the

intention

of

the

Fund

to

distribute

an

amount

sufficient

to

avoid

imposition

of

any

federal

excise

tax.

The

Fund,

accordingly,

anticipates

paying

no

federal

taxes

and

no

federal

tax

provision

was

recorded.

The

Fund

may

utilize

earnings

and

profits

distributed

to

shareholders

on

the

redemption

of

Shares

as

part

of

the

dividends

paid

deduction.

GAAP

requires

management

of

the

Fund

(i.e.,

the

Adviser)

to

make

additional

tax

disclosures

with

respect

to

the

tax

effects

of

certain

income

tax

positions,

whether

those

positions

were

taken

on

previously

filed

tax

returns

or

are

expected

to

be

taken

on

future

returns.

These

positions

must

meet

a

“more

likely

than

not”

standard

that,

based

on

the

technical

merits

of

the

position,

it would

have

a

greater

than

50

percent

likelihood

of

being

sustained

upon

examination.

In

evaluating

whether

a

tax

position

has

met

the

more-

likely-than-not

recognition

threshold,

the

Adviser

must

presume

that

the

position

will

be

examined

by

the

appropriate

taxing

authority

that

has

full

knowledge

of

all

relevant

information.

The

Adviser

analyzed

all

open

tax

years,

as

defined

by

the

statute

of

limitations,

for

all

major

jurisdictions.

Open

tax

years

are

those

that

are

open

for

examination

by

taxing

authorities.

Major

jurisdictions

for

the

Fund

include

U.S.

Federal,

Minnesota,

Wisconsin,

and

Delaware.

As

of March

31,

2021,

open

U.S.

Federal,

Minnesota,

Wisconsin

and

Delaware

tax

years

include

the

tax

periods

ended

March

31,

2019 through

March

31, 2021.

The

Fund

has

no

examinations

in

progress

and

none

are

expected

at

this

time.

As

of

March

31,

2021,

the

Adviser

has

reviewed

all

open

tax

years

and

major

jurisdictions

and

concluded

that

there

is

no

effect

to

the

Fund's

tax

liability,

financial

position

or

results

of

operations.

There

is

no

tax

liability

resulting

from

unrecognized

tax

benefits

related

to

uncertain

income

tax

positions

taken

or

expected

to

be

taken

in

future

tax

returns.

The

Fund

recognized

interest

and

penalties,

if

any,

related

to

uncertain

tax

benefits

as

income

tax

expense

in

the

Statement

of

Operations.

During

the

year,

the

Fund

did

not

incur

any

interest

or

penalties.

The

Fund

is

also

not

aware

of

any

tax

positions

for

which

it

is

reasonably

possible

that

the

total

amounts

of

unrecognized

tax

benefits

will

significantly

change

in

the

next

12

months.

Expenses

and

Income 

—

Estimated

expenses

are

accrued

daily.  The

Fund is

charged

for

those

expenses

that

are

directly

attributable

to

it.

Expenses

that

are

not

directly

attributable

to

the Fund

are

allocated

among

all

appropriate

affiliated

mutual

funds

in

proportion

to

their

respective

net

assets

or

number

of

shareholder

accounts,

or

other

reasonable

basis.

Interest

income

is recorded daily

on

all

debt

securities,

as

is

accretion

of

market

discount

and

original

issue

discount

and

amortization

of

premium

using

the

effective

yield

method. 

Dividend

income

and

capital

gain

distributions

are

recorded

on

the

ex-dividend

date. 

Non-cash

income,

if

any,

is

recorded

at

the

fair

market

value

of

the

securities

received. 

Realized

gains

and

losses

on

the

sale

of

securities

are

determined

using

cost

calculated

on

a

specific

identification

basis.

Distributions

to

Shareholders 

—

The

Fund

intends

to

distribute

most

or

all

of

its

net

earnings

and

realized

gains,

if

any,

in

the

form

of

dividends

from

net

investment

income

("dividends")

and

distributions

of

net

realized

capital

gains

("capital

gain

distributions,"

and

together

with

dividends,

"distributions").

The

Fund

intends

to

declare

dividends

daily

and

distribute

them

to

Shareholders

of

record

monthly.

Dividends and

interest

received

by

the

Fund are

derived

from

net

investment

income.

Capital

gain

distributions,

if

any,

usually

will

be

declared

and

paid

in

December

for

the

prior

twelve-month

period

ending October 31.

The

Fund

does

not

have

a

fixed

distribution

rate

nor

does

it

guarantee

that

it

will

pay

any

distributions

in

any

particular

period.

Mortgage

Dollar

Roll

Transactions 

— The

Fund

may enter

into

dollar

roll

transactions

on

securities

issued

or

to

be

issued

by

the

Government

National

Mortgage

Association,

Federal

National

Mortgage

Association

and

Federal

Home

Loan

Mortgage

Corporation,

in

which

the

Fund

sells

mortgage

securities

and

simultaneously

agrees

to

repurchase

similar

(same

type

and

coupon)

securities

at

a

later

date

at

an

agreed

upon

price.

The

Fund

must

maintain

liquid

securities

having

a

value

at

least

equal

to

the

repurchase

price

(including

accrued

interest)

for

such

dollar

rolls.

In

addition,

the

Fund is

required

to segregate

collateral

with the

Fund's

custodian (depending

on

market

movements)

on

their

mortgage

dollar

rolls. 

The

value

of

the

securities

that

the

Fund is

required

to

purchase

may

decline

below

the

agreed

upon

repurchase

price

of

those

securities.

During

the

period

between

the

sale

and

repurchase,

the

Fund

forgoes

principal

and

interest

paid

on

the

mortgage

securities

sold.

The

Fund is

compensated

from

negotiated

fees

paid

by

brokers

offered

as

an

inducement

to

the

Fund

to

"roll

over" its

purchase

commitments,

thus

enhancing

the

yield.

Mortgage

dollar

rolls

may

be

renewed

with

a

new

purchase

and

repurchase

price

and

a

cash

settlement

made

on

settlement

date

without

physical

delivery

of

the

securities

subject

to

the

contract.

The

over

period

and

are

included

in

Income

from

mortgage

dollar

in

the

Statement

of

Operations.

When-Issued

and

Delayed-Delivery

Transactions 

—

The Fund

may

purchase

or

sell

securities

on

a

when-issued

or

delayed-delivery

basis.

These

transactions

involve

a

commitment

by the

Fund

to

purchase

or

sell

securities

for

a

predetermined

price

or

yield,

with

payment

and

delivery

taking

place

beyond

the

customary

settlement

period.

When

delayed-delivery

purchases

are

outstanding, the

Fund

will

designate

liquid

assets

in

an

amount

sufficient

to

meet

the

purchase

price.

When

purchasing

a

security

on

a

delayed-delivery

basis, the

Fund

assumes

the

rights

and

risks

of

ownership

of

the

security,

including

the

risk

of

price

and

yield

fluctuations,

and

takes

such

fluctuations

into

account

when

determining

its

net

asset

value.  The

Fund

may

dispose

of

a

delayed-delivery

transaction

after

it

is

entered

into,

and

may

sell

when-issued

securities

before

they

are

delivered,

which

may

result

in

a

capital

gain

or

loss.

When

the

Fund

has

sold

a

security

on

a

delayed-delivery

basis, the

Fund

does

not

participate

in

future

gains

and

losses

with

respect

to

the

security.

Accounting

Estimates 

—

The

financial

statements

are

prepared

in

conformity

with

GAAP,

which requires

management

to

make

estimates

and

assumptions

that

affect

the

reported

amounts

of

assets

and

liabilities

and

disclosure

of

contingent

assets

and

liabilities

at

the

date

of

the

financial

statements

and

the

reported

amounts

of

income

and

expenses

during

the

reporting

period.

Actual

results

could

differ

from

those

estimates.

Loan

Commitment

Fees 

— The

Fund

may

receive

loan

commitment

fees

prior

to

loan

closing

and

before

the

loan

is

purchased

by

the

Fund.

Commitment

fees

are

fees

a

lender

charges

the

borrower

in

order

to

keep

a

specific

loan

amount

available

to

the

borrower.

Any

such

fees

received

by

the

Fund, net

of

applicable

loan

origination

expenses

paid

by

the

Fund will

be

accounted

for

as

an

adjustment

to

the

yield

of

the

corresponding loan

using

the

straight-line

method

over

the

life

of

the

loan.

Contingent

Liabilities

— In

the event

of

adversary

action

proceedings

where

the

Fund

is

a

defendant,

the

loss

contingency

will

not

be

accrued

as

a

liability until

the

amount

of

potential

damages

and

the

likelihood

of

loss

can

be

reasonably

estimated.

For

the

year

ended

March

31,

2021,

the

Fund

had

no

reportable

contingent

liabilities.

Litigation 

—

Awards

from

class

action

litigation

are

recorded

as

a

reduction

of

cost

if

the

Fund

still

owns

the

applicable

securities

on

the

payment

date. 

If

the

Fund

no

longer

owns

the

applicable

securities,

the

proceeds

are

recorded

as

realized

gains. 

Repurchase

Offers 

— The

Fund's

Shares

are

not

redeemable

each

business

day,

are

not

no

secondary

INFORMATION

Distributions

are

based

on

amounts

calculated

in

with

the

applicable

federal

income

tax

regulations,

which

may

differ

from

GAAP.

The

differences

between

book-basis

and

tax-basis

distributable

earnings

are

primarily

attributable

to

timing

differences

in

recognizing

organizational

fees.  At

the

end

of

the

fiscal

year,

reclassifications

between

net

are

made

for

differences

that

are

permanent

in

nature. 

There

are

no

permanent

differences for

(8) MARKET

RISK

Over

time,

securities

markets

generally

tend

to

move

in

cycles

with

periods

when

security

prices

rise

and

periods

when

security

prices

decline. 

The

value

of

a

Fund's

investments

may

move

with

these

cycles

and,

in

some

instances,

increase

or

decrease

more

than

the

applicable

market(s)

as

measured

by

the

Fund's

benchmark

index(es).

The

securities

markets

may

also

decline

because

of

factors

that

affect

a

particular

industry.

As

of March

31,

2021,

the Fund

had

portfolio

concentration

of

73.2%

in

the

Church

Loan

sector.

(9)

SIGNIFICANT

RISKS

Church

Loan

Related

Risks

— In

making

investments

in

Church

Loans,

the

Fund

will

depend

primarily

on

the

creditworthiness

of

the

Borrower

for

payment

of

principal

and

interest.

Churches

rely

on

voluntary

contributions

from

their

congregations

for

their

primary

source

of

income.

Member

contributions

are

used

to

repay

Church

Loans.

The

membership

of

a

church,

the

attendance

of

its

members,

or

the

per

capita

contributions

of

its

members

may

not

remain

constant

or

may

decrease

during

the

term

of

a

Church

Loan.

A

decrease

in

a

church’s

income

could

result

in

its

inability

to

pay

its

obligation

under

a

Church

Loan.

In

addition,

events

such

as

the

pandemic

spread

of

the

novel

coronavirus

known

as

COVID-19,

the

duration

and

effects

of

which

are

uncertain,

may

result

in

a

decrease

in

voluntary

contributions

from

church

congregations.

A

church’s

senior

pastor

also

plays

an

important

role

in

the

management

and

continued

viability

of

a

church.

A

senior

pastor’s

absence,

personal

actions,

resignation

or

death

could

have

a

negative

impact

on

a

Borrower’s

operations,

and

thus

its

continued

ability

to

generate

income

sufficient

to

service

its

obligations

under

a

Church

Loan.

National

church

body

decisions

can

impact

individual

church

membership.

Certain

independent

churches

have

little

to

no

financial

support

from

national

church

bodies;

likewise,

national

church

bodies

have

limited

resources

available

for

individual

church

support.

A

church’s

income

also

could

be

affected

by

increases

in

expenses

caused

by

increases

in

interest

rates

on

variable

rate

Church

Loans,

the

occurrence

of

any

uninsured

casualty

at

the

property,

any

need

to

address

environmental

contamination

at

the

property,

changes

in

governmental

rules,

regulations

and

fiscal

policies,

terrorism,

social

unrest

or

civil

disturbances.

Due

to

the

corporate

structure

of

Borrowers,

which

can

include

volunteers

serving

in

key

executive

functions

such

as

Treasurer,

the

servicing

agent

administering

Church

Loans

may

use

broad

discretion

in

enforcing

the

terms

of

such

Church

Loans

especially

with

regard

to

timing

and

fees

charged.

Assignment

or

Participation

Risk

—

The

Fund

may

acquire

exposure

to

church

mortgage

loans

through

loan

assignments

or

participations.

With

assignments,

the

purchaser

typically

succeeds

to

all

the

rights

and

obligations

of

the

assigning

institution

and

becomes

a

lender

under

the

loan

agreement.

By

contrast,

participations

typically

result

in

contractual

relationships

only

with

the

institution

participating

out

the

interest,

not

with

the

Borrower.

In

purchasing

participations,

the

Fund

generally

will

have

no

right

to

directly

enforce

compliance

by

the

Borrower

with

the

terms

of

the

loan

agreement.

The

Fund

also

will

be

exposed

to

the

credit

risk

of

both

the

Borrower

and

the

institution

selling

the

participation. 

Availability

of

Investment

Opportunities;

Competition

Risks

—

Thrivent

Financial

and

the

Fund

compete

for

investment

opportunities

with

Church

Loan

financing

companies,

banks,

savings

and

loan

associations,

denominational

loan

funds

and

lenders,

credit

unions,

real

estate

investment

trusts,

insurance

companies

and

other

financial

institutions

to

service

this

market.

Many

of

these

entities

may

have

greater

marketing

resources,

extensive

networks

of

offices

and

locations,

or

larger

staffs

devoted

to

Church

Loan

financing.

In

addition,

regulatory

restrictions,

actual

or

potential

conflicts

of

interest

or

other

considerations

may

cause

the

Adviser

to

restrict

or

prohibit

participation

in

certain

investments. 

Collateral

Risk;

Real

Estate

Risk

—

There

is

a

risk

that

the

value

of

any

collateral

securing

a

Church

Loan

in

which

the

Fund

has

an

interest

may

not

be

estimated

correctly

or

may

decline

and

that

the

collateral

may

not

be

sufficient

to

cover

the

amount

owed

on

the

loan.

Because

the

Fund’s

Church

Loans

are

primarily

backed

by

real

estate,

these

investments

are

vulnerable

to

factors

that

affect

the

real

estate

used

to

collateralize

the

Church

Loans

and

the

local

and

national

real

estate

markets.

Factors

affecting

the

value

of

real

estate

investments

include,

but

are

not

limited

to,

changes

in

local

or

national

economic

or

employment

conditions,

changes

in

interest

rates,

zoning

laws

or

property

taxes,

supply

and

demand,

environmental

problems,

losses

from

a

casualty

or

condemnation,

maintenance

problems,

operating

expenses,

population

changes,

and

social

and

economic

trends.

Property

tax

liens

would

also

affect

the

availability

of

cash

to

pay

other

creditors

in

the

event

of

a

sale

of

the

real

estate,

through

foreclosure

or

otherwise.

Furthermore,

in

the

case

of

certain

Church

Loans,

the

property

backing

the

investments

may

have

limited

suitability

for

other

purposes.

Concentration

Risk

—

Under

normal

circumstances,

the

Fund

will

concentrate

its

investments

in

the

securities

and/or

other

instruments

of

U.S.

non-profit

organizations

that

have

a

stated

Christian

mission

including,

but

not

limited

to,

churches,

denominations

and

associations,

educational

institutions,

and

other

Christian

mission-

related

organizations.

The

Fund

will

thus

be

exposed

to

negative

developments

affecting

church-related

institutions,

as

well

as

negative

developments

affecting

real

estate-related

investments

and

real

property

generally.

These

factors

are

discussed

under

“Church

Loan

Related

Risks”

and

“Collateral

Risk;

Real

Estate

Risk”

above. 

Construction

Loan

Risk

—

The

Fund

may

invest

in

Church

Loans

for

construction

projects.

Construction

projects

may

include

new

development,

expansion,

remodeling

and/or

renovation

and

repairs.

The

interest

rate

is

typically

set

on

these

construction

loans

at

the

time

of

the

loan

commitment,

and

funded

incrementally

over

time

as

the

project

is

completed.

The

Fund

will

have

an

obligation

to

make

additional

advances

as

the

project

is

completed.

The

Fund

generally

ensures

its

ability

to

satisfy

such

demands

by

segregating

Thrivent

Church

Loan

and

Income

Fund

Financial

Statements

19

sufficient

assets

in

high

quality

short-term

liquid

investments.

In

addition,

construction

loans

may

be

considered

higher

risk

during

the

construction

phase

(e.g.,

potential

mechanics

liens

or

other

collateral

impacts

may

occur

including

risk

of

non-completion).

Default

Risk

—

Default

in

the

payment

of

interest

or

principal

on

a

Church

Loan

or

an

increased

risk

of

default

may

result

in

a

reduction

in

income

to

the

Fund,

a

reduction

in

the

value

of

a

Church

Loan

and/or

a

decrease

in

the

Fund’s

NAV

per

Share.

The

risk

of

default

increases

in

the

event

of

an

economic

downturn,

a

decline

in

the

value

of

real

estate,

or

a

substantial

increase

in

interest

rates

on

variable

rate

Church

Loans.

In

the

event

of

any

default

under

a

Church

Loan,

the

Fund

will

bear

a

risk

of

loss

of

principal

to

the

extent

of

any

deficiency

between

the

value

of

any

collateral

that

is

liquidated

and

the

principal

and

accrued

and

unpaid

interest

of

the

Church

Loan.

Efforts

to

return

a

non-performing

Church

Loan

to

performing

status

can

be

lengthy

and

may

negatively

affect

the

Fund’s

anticipated

return.

In

the

event

a

Borrower

defaults,

the

Fund’s

access

to

the

collateral

may

be

limited

or

delayed

by

bankruptcy

or

other

insolvency

laws.

Illiquid

Securities

Risk

—

Church

Loans

are

typically

not

listed

on

any

national

securities

exchange

or

automated

quotation

system

and

no

active

trading

market

exists

for

these

instruments.

Some

Church

Loans

also

contain

restrictions

on

transfers

and

there

is

a

lack

of

publicly

available

information

on

most

Church

Loans.

As

a

result,

Church

Loans

are

generally

considered

illiquid.

To

the

extent

consistent

with

the

applicable

liquidity

requirements

for

interval

funds

set

forth

in

Rule

23c-3

under

the

1940

Act,

the

Fund

may

invest

without

limit

in

illiquid

securities

and

at

any

given

time,

the

Fund’s

portfolio

may

be

substantially

illiquid.

The

market

for

illiquid

securities

may

be

more

volatile

than

the

market

for

liquid

securities.

To

the

extent

that

a

secondary

market

does

exist

for

Church

Loans,

the

market

may

be

subject

to

irregular

trading

activity,

wide

bid/ask

spreads

and

extended

trade

settlement

periods.

The

illiquid

market

for

Church

Loans

means

that

the

Fund

may

not

be

able

to

sell

its

holdings

at

a

time

when

it

may

otherwise

be

desirable

to

do

so

or

may

require

the

Fund

to

sell

at

prices

that

are

less

than

what

the

Fund

regards

as

their

fair

market

value,

which

would

adversely

affect

the

Fund’s

NAV

per

share.

In

addition,

due

to

the

illiquidity

of

the

Church

Loan

market,

and

the

intent

to

hold

Church

Loans

to

maturity,

the

Fund

may

be

limited

in

its

ability

to

turn

over

its

investments

in

Church

Loans

to

obtain

debt

securities

with

more

attractive

rates

of

return.

Church

Loans

are

typically

valued

using

significant

unobservable

inputs.

Market

quotations

or

prices

are

likely

not

readily

available

or

may

be

determined

to

be

unreliable.

Value

will

be

determined

in

good

faith

pursuant

to

fair

valuation

procedures

adopted

by

the

Board.

See

“Valuation

Risk”

below.

Certain

Church

Loans

may

trade

in

an

over-the-counter

market,

and

confirmation

and

settlement

may

take

significantly

longer

than

traditional

fixed-income

security

transactions

to

complete.

Transactions

in

Church

Loans

may

settle

on

a

delayed

basis,

and

the

Fund

may

not

receive

the

proceeds

from

the

sale

of

a

loan

for

a

substantial

period

after

the

sale.

As

a

result,

those

proceeds

will

not

be

available

to

make

additional

investments.

In

most

cases,

the

Fund

intends

to

hold

Church

Loans

to

maturity.

Modification

Risk

—

During

periods

of

market

uncertainty

or

an

economic

downturn

such

as

that

caused

by

the

recent

outbreak

of

the

novel

coronavirus

known

as

COVID-19,

Borrowers

may

request

relief

from

the

terms

of

their

Church

Loans.

In

such

situations,

Thrivent

Financial,

as

lender,

will

generally

accommodate

such

requests

and

assist

the

Borrower

in

returning

to

financial

stability.

Certain

accommodations,

such

as

forbearance

measures,

changes

to

maturity,

and

changes

to

interest

rates

are

granted

in

the

sole

discretion

of

the

Adviser

and

subject

to

ratification

by

the

Fund’s

Board.

There

may

also

be

regulatory

requirements

that

limit

the

Fund’s

options

regarding

a

modification

request.

These

modification

measures

could

cause

principal

and/or

interest

payments

from

Borrowers

to

decrease

temporarily

and

the

value

of

loans

held

by

the

Fund

to

decline.

While

modification

measures

may

be

taken

to

avoid

a

potential

default,

the

value

of

the

Fund

could

be

negatively

impacted. 

No

Public

Information;

Not

Rated

Risk

—

There

is

generally

no

publicly

available

information

about

the

Borrowers

of

Church

Loans.

In

addition,

Church

Loans

are

not

rated

by

NRSROs

or

other

independent

parties.

The

Adviser

must

rely

on

the

Borrowers,

its

own

due

diligence

and/or

the

due

diligence

efforts

of

Thrivent

Financial,

its

affiliates,

or

unaffiliated

third

parties

to

obtain

the

information

that

the

Adviser

considers

when

investing

in

Church

Loans.

To

some

extent,

the

Adviser,

its

affiliates,

or

unaffiliated

third

parties

rely

upon

the

Borrower’s

staff

to

provide

full

and

accurate

disclosure

of

material

information

concerning

their

operations

and

financial

condition.

The

Adviser,

its

affiliates,

or

unaffiliated

third

parties

may

not

have

access

to

all

of

the

material

information

about

a

particular

Borrower’s

operations,

financial

condition

and

prospects,

or

a

Borrower’s

accounting

records

may

be

poorly

maintained

or

organized.

The

financial

condition

and

prospects

of

a

Borrower

may

also

change

rapidly.

In

such

instances,

the

Adviser

may

not

be

able

to

make

a

fully

informed

investment

decision

which

may

lead,

ultimately,

to

a

default

by

the

Borrower

and

a

loss

of

some

or

all

of

the

Fund’s

investment.

Prepayment

Risk

—

Generally,

Borrowers

may

prepay

the

principal

amount

of

their

Church

Loans

at

any

time,

although

prepayment

fees

or

penalties

may

apply.

In

periods

of

falling

interest

rates,

Borrowers

may

be

more

likely

to

prepay

their

Church

Loans

to

refinance

at

lower

interest

rates.

When

economic

conditions

make

it

more

likely

that

Borrowers

will

prepay

Church

Loans,

the

value

of

such

loans

may

fluctuate,

and

the

value

of

the

Shares

may

be

impacted.

Prepayment

would

cause

the

actual

duration

of

a

Church

Loan

to

be

shorter

than

its

stated

maturity.

See

“Duration

and

Maturity

Risk”

below.

In

the

event

of

a

full

prepayment,

the

Fund

would

lose

the

income

that

would

have

been

earned

to

maturity

on

the

Church

Loan.

Further,

material

partial

principal

prepayments

of

Church

Loans

may

result

in

a

reamortization

of

the

remaining

principal

balance

over

the

current

maturity,

which

would

mean

the

Fund

would

receive

lower

payments

of

principal

and

interest

over

the

remaining

term

of

the

Church

Loan.

The

proceeds

received

by

the

Fund

from

prepayments

may

be

reinvested

in

Church

Loans

or

other

debt

securities

paying

lower

interest

rates. 

Refinance

Risk

—

Generally,

Borrowers

may

refinance

their

Church

Loans

at

any

time.

A

refinance

of

an

existing

Fund

Church

Loan

with

Thrivent

Financial

will

result

in

a

modification

of

the

loan

terms

and

the

loan

being

repriced

at

par.

A

refinance

with

another

lender

will

result

in

the

loan

being

paid

off

at

par.

In

both

situations,

a

loss

may

occur

on

the

Church

Loan

if

it

is

valued

at

a

price

above

par

at

the

time

of

the

refinance. 

Special

Risks

—

Special

risks

associated

with

exposures

to

Church

Loans

include

(i)

the

possible

invalidation

of

an

investment

transaction

as

a

fraudulent

conveyance

under

relevant

creditors’

rights

laws

and

(ii)

so-called

lender-liability

claims

by

the

Borrowers

of

the

obligations.

Successful

claims

with

respect

to

such

matters

may

reduce

the

cash

flow

and/or

market

value

of

the

investment.

Church

Loans

are

subject

to

the

risk

that

a

court,

pursuant

to

fraudulent

conveyance

or

other

similar

laws,

could

subordinate

these

instruments

to

presently

existing

or

future

indebtedness

of

the

Borrower

or

take

other

action

detrimental

to

holders

of

the

Church

Loan.

 Valuation

Risk

—

The

lack

of

an

active

trading

market

for

Church

Loans,

restrictions

on

transfers

in

some

church

mortgage

loan

agreements

and

trust

indentures,

a

lack

of

publicly

available

information,

and

other

factors

may

result

in

inherent

uncertainty

in

the

valuation

process

for

Church

Loans,

and

the

estimated

fair

values

may

differ

materially

from

the

values

estimated

by

another

party

or

the

values

that

would

have

been

used

had

a

ready

market

for

the

Church

Loans

existed.

To

the

extent

the

Fund

invests

in

Church

Loans,

the

Fund’s

calculated

NAV

may

not

accurately

reflect

the

value

that

could

be

obtained

for

any

Church

Loan

upon

sale.

The

value

of

the

Church

Loan

will

be

determined

in

good

faith

pursuant

to

fair

valuation

procedures

adopted

by

the

Fund’s

Board.

The

Board

has

delegated

the

responsibility

to

estimate

the

fair

value

of

Church

Loans

to

the

Adviser.

The

fair

valuation

of

Church

Loans

by

the

Adviser

could

result

in

a

conflict

of

interest

as

the

Adviser’s

advisory

fee

is

based

on

the

value

of

the

Fund’s

net

assets.

    Variable

or

Floating

Interest

Rate

Risk

—

Church

mortgage

loans

may

have

interest

rates

that

float

above,

or

are

adjusted

periodically

based

on,

a

benchmark

that

reflects

current

interest

rates.

Substantial

increases

in

interest

rates

may

cause

an

increase

in

loan

defaults

as

Borrowers

may

lack

resources

to

meet

higher

debt

service

requirements.

Increasing

interest

rates

may

hinder

a

Borrower’s

ability

to

refinance

church

mortgage

loans

because

the

underlying

property

cannot

satisfy

the

debt

service

coverage

requirements

necessary

to

obtain

new

financing

or

because

the

value

of

the

property

has

decreased.

Additionally,

certain

church

mortgage

loans

will

have

interest

rate

resets,

and

may

result

in

decreases

in

interest

rates.

Decreases

in

interest

rates

will

typically

cause

interest

rates

on

the

church

mortgage

loans

to

decrease,

thereby

reducing

income

to

the

Fund.

Closed-End,

Interval

Fund

Structure

Risk

—

The

Fund

is

a

closed-end

management

investment

company

structured

as

an

“interval

fund”

and

designed

for

long-term

investors.

The

Fund

is

not

intended

to

be

a

typical

traded

investment.

Unlike

many

closed-end

investment

companies,

the

Fund’s

Shares

are

not

listed

on

any

national

securities

exchange

and

are

not

publicly

traded.

There

is

no

secondary

market

for

the

Shares,

and

the

Fund

does

not

expect

a

secondary

market

will

develop.

An

investor

should

not

invest

in

the

Fund

if

the

investor

needs

a

liquid

investment.

Closed-end

funds

differ

from

open-end

management

investment

companies,

commonly

known

as

“mutual

funds,”

in

that

investors

in

a

closed-end

fund

do

not

have

the

right

to

redeem

their

shares

on

a

daily

basis

at

a

price

based

on

NAV

per

share.

The

Fund,

as

a

fundamental

policy,

will

make

quarterly

offers

to

repurchase

at

least

5%

and

up

to

25%

of

its

outstanding

Shares

at

NAV

per

share,

subject

to

approval

of

the

Board.

The

number

of

Shares

tendered

in

connection

with

a

repurchase

offer

may

exceed

the

number

of

Shares

the

Fund

has

offered

to

repurchase,

in

which

case

not

all

of

your

Shares

tendered

in

that

offer

will

be

repurchased.

Hence,

you

may

not

be

able

to

sell

your

Shares

when

and/or

in

the

amount

that

you

desire.

Credit

Risk

—

Credit

risk

is

the

risk

that

an

issuer

of

a

debt

security

to

which

the

Fund’s

portfolio

is

exposed

may

no

longer

be

able

or

willing

to

pay

its

debt.

As

a

result

of

such

an

event,

the

debt

security

may

fluctuate

in

price

and

affect

the

value

of

the

Fund.

A

credit

assessment

of

each

Church

Loan

is

completed

at

the

time

of

original

underwriting.

From

time

to

time,

as

additional

or

updated

information

regarding

the

Borrower

is

received,

credit

assessments

are

reviewed

and

can

be

adjusted

up

or

down.

Cybersecurity

Risk

—

Successful

cyber-attacks

against,

or

security

breakdowns

of,

the

Fund

or

any

affiliated

or

third-party

service

provider

may

adversely

affect

the

Fund

or

its

Shareholders.

While

the

Fund

and

its

service

providers

have

established

business

continuity

plans

and

systems

designed

to

prevent

cyber-attacks,

there

are

inherent

limitations

in

such

plans

and

systems

including

the

possibility

that

certain

risks

have

not

been

identified.

Similar

types

of

cybersecurity

risks

also

are

present

for

issuers

of

securities

in

which

the

Fund

invests,

which

could

result

in

material

adverse

consequences

for

such

issuers,

and

may

cause

the

Fund’s

investment

in

such

securities

to

lose

value.

Duration

and

Maturity

Risk

—

The

prices

of

debt

securities

are

also

affected

by

their

durations

and

maturities.

Duration

is

a

measure

used

to

determine

the

sensitivity

of

a

security’s

price

to

changes

in

interest

rates.

The

longer

a

security’s

duration,

the

more

sensitive

it

will

be

to

changes

in

interest

rates.

For

example,

if

a

bond

has

a

duration

of

four

years,

a

1%

increase

in

interest

rates

could

be

expected

to

result

in

a

4%

decrease

in

the

value

of

the

bond.

A

debt

security’s

maturity

is

typically

determined

on

a

stated

final

maturity

basis,

although

there

are

some

exceptions

to

this

rule.

securities

with

longer

maturities

generally

are

more

susceptible

to

changes

in

value

as

a

result

of

changes

in

interest

rates.

The

Fund

may

invest

in

debt

securities

of

any

duration

or

maturity.

Health

Crisis

Risk

—

The

global

pandemic

outbreak

of

the

novel

coronavirus

known

as

COVID-19

has

resulted

in

substantial

market

volatility

and

global

business

disruption.

The

duration

and

full

effects

of

the

outbreak

are

uncertain

and

may

result

in

trading

suspensions

and

market

closures,

limit

liquidity

and

the

ability

of

the

Fund

to

process

shareholder

repurchases,

and

negatively

impact

Fund

performance.

The

COVID-19

outbreak

and

future

pandemics

could

affect

the

global

economy

and

markets

in

ways

that

cannot

be

foreseen

and

may

exacerbate

other

types

of

risks,

negatively

impacting

the

value

of

Fund

investments.

Hedging

and

Derivatives

Risk

—

Derivatives,

a

category

that

includes

options,

futures

and

swaps,

are

financial

instruments

whose

value

derives

from

another

security,

an

index,

an

interest

rate

or

a

currency.

The

Fund

may

use

derivatives,

including

futures

and

swaps,

for

hedging

its

exposure

to

interest

rate

risk.

While

hedging

can

guard

against

potential

risks,

using

derivatives

adds

to

the

Fund’s

expenses

and

can

eliminate

some

opportunities

for

gains.

There

is

also

a

risk

that

a

derivative

intended

as

a

hedge

may

not

perform

as

expected.

Changes

in

the

value

of

the

derivative

may

not

correlate

as

intended

with

the

underlying

interest

rate,

and

the

Fund

could

lose

much

more

than

the

original

amount

invested.

Derivatives

can

be

volatile,

illiquid

and

difficult

to

value.

Derivatives

are

also

subject

to

the

risk

that

the

other

party

in

the

transaction

will

not

fulfill

its

contractual

obligations.

Interest

Rate

Risk

—

Interest

rate

risk

is

the

risk

that

prices

of

debt

securities

decline

in

value

when

interest

rates

rise

for

debt

securities

that

pay

a

fixed

rate

of

interest.

Debt

securities

with

longer

durations

or

maturities

tend

to

be

more

sensitive

to

changes

in

interest

rates

than

those

with

shorter

durations

or

maturities.

Changes

by

the

Federal

Reserve

to

monetary

policies

could

affect

interest

rates

and

the

value

of

some

securities.

Debt

securities

in

which

the

Fund

may

invest

will

have

varying

maturities,

which

may

be

as

long

as

30

years.

If

interest

rates

rise

generally,

rates

of

return

on

debt

securities

held

by

the

Fund

may

become

less

attractive

and

the

value

of

debt

securities

held

by

the

Fund

and

the

Fund’s

Shares,

may

decline.

This

risk

tends

to

increase

the

longer

the

term

of

the

debt

security.

Investment

Adviser

Risk

—

The

Fund

is

actively

managed

and

the

success

of

its

investment

strategy

depends

significantly

on

the

skills

of

the

Adviser

in

assessing

the

potential

of

the

investments

in

which

the

Fund

invests.

This

assessment

of

investments

may

prove

incorrect,

resulting

in

losses

or

poor

performance,

even

in

rising

markets.

LIBOR Risk

—

The

Fund

may

be

exposed

to

financial

instruments

that

are

tied

to

LIBOR

to

determine

payment

obligations,

financing

terms

or

investment

value.

Such

financial

instruments

may

include

bank

loans,

derivatives,

floating

rate

securities,

certain

asset

backed

securities,

and

other

assets

or

liabilities

tied

to

LIBOR.

In

2017,

the

head

of

the

U.K.

Financial

Conduct

Authority

announced

a

desire

to

phase

out

the

use

of

LIBOR

by

the

end

of

2021.

On

November

30,

2020,

the

administrator

of

LIBOR

announced

its

intention

to

delay

the

phase

out

of

the

majority

of

the

U.S.

dollar

LIBOR

publications

until

June

30,

2023,

with

the

remainder

of

LIBOR

publications

to

discontinue

at

the

end

of

2021.

There

remains

uncertainty

regarding

the

future

utilization

of

LIBOR

and

the

nature

of

any

replacement

rate,

and

any

potential

effects

of

the

transition

away

from

LIBOR

on

the

Portfolio

or

its

investments

are

not

known.  

Limited

Distribution

Risk

—

If

the

Distributor

fails

to

market

the

Fund

and

establish

and

maintain

a

network

of

selected

broker-dealers

to

sell

the

Shares,

the

Fund

may

not

be

able

to

raise

adequate

proceeds

through

the

Fund’s

continuous

public

offering

to

implement

the

Fund’s

investment

objective

and

strategies.

Liquidity

Risk

—

If

there

is

decreased

liquidity

in

the

markets,

the

Adviser

may

have

to

accept

a

lower

price

to

sell

a

security,

sell

other

securities

to

raise

cash,

or

give

up

an

investment

opportunity,

any

of

which

could

have

a

negative

effect

on

performance.

Mortgage-Backed

Securities

Risk

—

The

Fund

may

invest

in

mortgage-backed

securities

issued

or

guaranteed

by

the

U.S.

government

or

its

agencies

and

instrumentalities

(such

as

securities

issued

by

the

Government

National

Mortgage

Association

(“Ginnie

Mae”),

the

Federal

National

Mortgage

Association

(“Fannie

Mae”),

or

the

Federal

Home

Loan

Mortgage

Corporation

(“Freddie

Mac”)).

U.S.

government

mortgage-backed

securities

are

subject

to

market

risk,

interest

rate

risk

and

credit

risk.

Mortgage-backed

securities,

such

as

those

issued

or

guaranteed

by

Ginnie

Mae

or

the

U.S.

Treasury,

that

are

backed

by

the

full

faith

and

credit

of

the

United

States

are

guaranteed

only

as

to

the

timely

payment

of

interest

and

principal

when

held

to

maturity

and

the

market

prices

for

such

securities

will

fluctuate.

Notwithstanding

that

these

securities

are

backed

by

the

full

faith

and

credit

of

the

United

States,

circumstances

could

arise

that

would

prevent

the

payment

of

interest

or

principal.

This

would

result

in

losses

to

the

Fund.

Securities

issued

or

guaranteed

by

U.S.

government

related

organizations,

such

as

Fannie

Mae

and

Freddie

Mac,

are

not

backed

by

the

full

faith

and

credit

of

the

U.S.

government

and

no

assurance

can

be

given

that

the

U.S.

government

will

provide

financial

support.

Therefore,

U.S.

government-related

organizations

may

not

have

the

funds

to

meet

their

payment

obligations

in

the

future.

Mortgage-backed

securities

are

sensitive

to

changes

in

the

repayment

patterns

of

the

underlying

security.

If

the

principal

payment

on

the

underlying

asset

is

repaid

faster

or

slower

than

the

holder

of

the

mortgage-backed

security

anticipates,

the

price

of

the

security

may

fall,

particularly

if

the

holder

must

reinvest

the

repaid

principal

at

lower

rates

or

must

continue

to

hold

the

security

when

interest

rates

rise.

This

effect

may

cause

the

value

of

the

Fund

to

decline

and

reduce

the

overall

return

of

the

Fund.

Mortgage-backed

securities

are

also

subject

to

the

risk

of

delinquencies

on

mortgage

loans

underlying

such

securities.

The

Fund

may

enter

maintain

liquid

assets

in

connection

with

its

offers

or

to

meet

requests.

Dollar

rolls

on

mortgage-backed

securities

involve

the

risk

that

the

market

value

of

the

securities

subject

to

the

Fund’s

forward

purchase

commitment

may

decline

below,

or

the

market

value

of

the

mortgage-backed

securities

subject

to

the

Fund’s

forward

sale

commitment

may

increase

above,

the

exercise

price

of

the

forward

commitment.

Non-Diversification

Risk

—

Since

the

Fund

is

non-diversified,

it

may

invest

a

high

percentage

of

its

assets

in

a

limited

number

of

issuers.

When

the

Fund

invests

in

a

relatively

small

number

of

issuers

it

may

be

more

susceptible

to

risks

associated

with

a

single

economic,

political

or

regulatory

occurrence

than

a

more

diversified

portfolio

might

be.

Since

the

Fund

is

non-diversified,

its

NAV

per

share

and

total

return

may

also

fluctuate

more

or

be

subject

to

declines

in

weaker

markets

than

a

diversified

fund.

Regulatory

Changes

and

Regulatory

Actions

Risk

—

Legal,

tax

and

regulatory

changes

could

occur

and

may

adversely

affect

the

Fund

and

its

ability

to

pursue

its

investment

strategies

and/or

increase

the

costs

of

implementing

such

strategies.

Any

adverse

regulatory

action

could

impact

the

prices

of

the

securities

the

Fund

owns.

Related

Restrictions

on

Entering

into

Affiliated

Transactions

Risk

—

The

Fund

is

permitted

to

co-invest

with

Affiliated

Accounts

in

Church

Loan

transactions

subject

to

the

conditions

of

the

Co-Investment

Order,

applicable

regulatory

limitations,

the

policies

of

the

Adviser

and

its

affiliates,

as

applicable,

and

approval

of

the

Trustees

as

required

in

the

Co-Investment

Order.

Currently,

the

only

Affiliated

Account

is

Thrivent

can

offer

no

assurance,

however,

that

it

will

be

able

to

obtain

such

approvals

or

develop

or

access

opportunities

that

comply

with

such

lead

to

impermissible

joint

transactions

within

the

meaning

of

the

1940

Act

in

the

future.

To

avoid

the

potential

of

future

joint

transactions,

the

Adviser

may

seek

to

avoid

allocating

an

investment

opportunity

to

the

Fund

that

it

would

otherwise

allocate,

subject

to

the

Adviser’s

and

its

affiliates’

then-current

allocation

policies

and

any

applicable

exemptive

orders

(including

the

Co-

Investment

Order),

and

to

the

Adviser’s

obligations

to

allocate

opportunities

in

a

fair

and

equitable

manner.

Repurchase

Offers

Risk

— The

Fund

is

a

closed-end

investment

company

structured

as

an

“interval

fund”

and

is

designed

for

long-term

investors.

There

is

no

secondary

market

for

the

Shares

and

the

Fund

expects

that

no

secondary

market

will

develop.

In

order

to

provide

liquidity

to

Shareholders,

the

Fund,

subject

to

applicable

law,

conducts

quarterly

repurchase

offers

of

its

outstanding

Shares

at

NAV

per

share,

subject

to

approval

of

the

Board.

In

all

cases,

such

repurchase

offers

will

be

for

at

least

5%

and

not

more

than

25%

of

its

outstanding

Shares,

at

NAV

per

share,

pursuant

to

Rule

23c-3

under

the

1940

Act.

Repurchases

generally

will

be

funded

from

available

cash

or

sales

of

portfolio

securities.

However,

if

at

any

time

cash

and

other

liquid

assets

held

by

the

Fund

are

not

sufficient

to

meet

the

Fund’s

repurchase

obligations,

the

Fund

may,

if

necessary,

sell

investments.

The

sale

of

securities

to

fund

repurchases

could

reduce

the

market

price

of

those

securities,

which

in

turn

would

reduce

the

Fund’s

NAV

per

share.

The

Fund

is

also

permitted

to

borrow

up

to

the

maximum

extent

permitted

under

the

1940

Act

to

meet

such

repurchase

obligations.

The

Fund

does

not

currently

intend

to

borrow

to

finance

repurchases,

although

it

may

invest

in

mortgage

dollar

transactions.

Moreover,

a

reduction

in

the

size

of

the

Fund

through

repurchases

may

result

in

untimely

sales

of

portfolio

securities,

may

increase

the

Fund’s

portfolio

turnover,

and

may

limit

the

ability

of

the

Fund

to

participate

in

new

investment

opportunities

or

to

achieve

its

investment

objective.

If

a

repurchase

offer

is

oversubscribed,

the

Fund

will

repurchase

the

Shares

tendered

on

a

pro

rata

basis,

and

Shareholders

will

have

to

wait

until

the

next

repurchase

offer

to

make

another

repurchase

request.

As

a

result,

Shareholders

may

be

unable

to

liquidate

all

or

a

given

percentage

of

their

investment

in

the

Fund

during

a

particular

repurchase

offer.

A

Shareholder

may

be

subject

to

market

and

other

risks,

and

the

NAV

per

share

of

Shares

tendered

in

a

repurchase

offer

may

decline

between

the

Repurchase

Request

Deadline

and

the

date

on

which

the

NAV

per

share

for

tendered

Shares

is

determined.

In

addition,

to

the

extent

the

Fund

sells

portfolio

holdings

in

order

to

fund

repurchase

requests,

the

repurchase

of

Shares

by

the

Fund

will

be

a

taxable

event

for

the

Shareholders

of

repurchased

Shares,

and

potentially

even

for

Shareholders

that

do

not

participate

in

the

repurchase

offer.

Seed

Capital

Risk

—

In

order

to

maintain

liquidity,

in

particular

during

a

repurchase

offer

period,

the

Fund

may

rely

on

seed

investments

by

Thrivent

Financial.

It

is

possible

that

Thrivent

Financial

may

be

unable

to

provide

additional

seed

capital

or

may

decline

to

make

additional

investments

in

the

Fund,

which

could

limit

the

Fund’s

ability

to

invest

in

Church

Loans

and

maintain

liquidity

to

fund

Shareholder

repurchase

requests.

Tax Risk 

—

The

Fund

has

elected

to

be

a

“regulated

investment

company”

under

the

Internal

Revenue

Code

of

1986,

as

amended

(“Code”)

(“RIC”)

and

intends

to

qualify

each

taxable

year

to

be

treated

as

such.

In

order

to

qualify

for

such

treatment,

the

Fund

must

meet

certain

asset

diversification

tests,

derive

at

least

90%

of

its

gross

income

for

its

taxable

year

from

certain

types

of

“qualifying

income,”

and

distribute

to

its

Shareholders

at

least

the

sum

of

90%

of

its

“investment

company

taxable

income,”

as

that

term

is

defined

in

the

Code

(which

include,

among

other

things,

dividends,

interest

and

the

excess

of

any

net

short-term

capital

gains

over

net

long-term

capital

losses,

as

reduced

by

certain

deductible

expenses)

and

90%

of

its

net

exempt

interest

income,

if

any.

The

Fund’s

investment

strategy

will

potentially

be

limited

by

its

intention

to

annually

qualify

for

treatment

as

a

RIC.

An

adverse

determination

or

future

guidance

by

the

IRS

might

affect

the

Fund’s

ability

to

qualify

for

such

treatment

and

result

in

adverse

tax

consequences

for

the

Fund

and

Shareholders.
