FCSC Welcomes Thrivent – Jonathan Pickens as New Silver Sponsor

Franklin County Sports Club (FCSC) is proud to announce Thrivent – Jonathan Pickens, Financial Advisor as our newest Silver Sponsor for the 2025/2026 season.


Jonathan Pickens brings more than just financial expertise to our sponsor family—he brings a deep personal connection to the game. As one of three brothers who grew up loving soccer, Jonathan has lived the life of an athlete and supporter. His younger brother, a former MLS goalkeeper, even coached professionally at Nashville SC, making the sport a lasting part of the Pickens family legacy.


Now a financial advisor with Thrivent, Jonathan helps individuals and families build wealth with purpose—allowing them to invest in their futures while giving back to the communities they love. Supporting FCSC aligns perfectly with his mission to uplift youth, promote teamwork, and help grow something meaningful right here in Franklin County.


“I chose to sponsor Franklin County Sports Club because I believe in supporting organizations that align with my passions and values.
As a lifelong soccer fan and former player, I’ve seen firsthand how the game teaches teamwork, discipline, and resilience—skills that extend far beyond the field and into everyday life. Soccer played a big role in shaping the person I am today.
I fully support FCSC’s mission to bring a competitive, community-focused soccer program to Franklin County. Their commitment to both player development and local engagement is something I’m proud to stand behind.”
– Jonathan Pickens, Financial Advisor at Thrivent

As we continue building our club’s future—from expanding our teams to developing new facilities—partnerships like this help fuel our momentum. We are incredibly grateful for Jonathan’s belief in our mission, and we’re excited to have him on board as a champion of our players and community.
