Por-ti-co
Definition: A porch or covered walk, consisting of a roof supported by columns, often at the entrance or across the front of a building.
Meaning: For us, a portico is a gathering place and an entry point to something larger. More importantly, a portico is a symbol of our partnership in the ELCA’s mission.
Together, we’ll forge a long-term partnership focused on helping you achieve your organization’s goals with benefits rooted in the teachings and principles of the ELCA.
Our Philosophy
Wellness is multi-dimensional and unique to each individual. Wellness equips us to live out our vocations in family, ministry, and community with intention.
Churches and organizations foster wellness by offering benefits that support the whole person.
Portico offers a holistic approach to benefits, with a focus on financial, emotional, and physical well-being.
