A Joyful Step Forward in Our CCCU+AdelFi Merger Journey!

For over 60 years, both Christian Community Credit Union and AdelFi have been providing faith-aligned banking to Christian individuals, families, ministries, and Christian-owned businesses. United by our shared values and mission, this merger is a natural fit.

By joining forces, we’ll be better equipped to offer a broader range of products, deliver exceptional service, and invest in innovative technologies that enhance the member experience and drive efficiency.

As America’s largest Christian banking institution, together, we will become an even stronger financial institution, better positioned to serve you, expand our reach, and increase Kingdom impact substantially.

As we look forward to an exciting new chapter, we’re pleased to introduce AdelFi Credit Union!

For over 60 years, AdelFi has been serving Christian individuals, families, and Christ-centered ministries and businesses to help them protect, grow, and share their financial resources. Like CCCU, AdelFi is dedicated to helping Christians steward their finances in alignment with Biblical values. They also prioritize kingdom impact and actively donate portions of their proceeds to support Christian ministries, missions, and causes that spread the Gospel worldwide.

This is a Merger of Equals (MOE). As such, this means that two independent credit unions of similar size are coming together to form one stronger, combined credit union. This merger allows us to provide even more value to our members—offering better rates, fewer fees, and improved service options—while staying competitive in the market. AdelFi members overwhelmingly voted in favor of the merger with CCCU because they will be moving to American Share Insurance (ASI). Moving to ASI insurance means AdelFi will operate under CCCU’s charter with Blair Korschun (current CCCU CEO) as CEO. This merger of equals is about uniting strengths to better serve you and the Christian community for years to come.

AdelFi members voted to join Christian Community Credit Union (CCCU) because they will convert to private insurance—(American Share Insurance) and will operate under Christian Community Credit Union’s charter.

The merger can take up to 12-18 months to complete. We are currently working through the required regulatory approval stages and anticipate finalizing the merger before the end of 2025. Once finalized, CCCU and AdelFi will begin the process of integrating systems and platforms to deliver optimal banking tools and solutions for our members.

Now that we’ve officially been granted approval to merge, Christian Community Credit Union (CCCU) and AdelFi are actively collaborating to build the foundation for our unified future. No action is needed from you at this time. Rest assured that your accounts, services, and overall member experience will remain unchanged as we implement the final phases of the merger.

Our dedicated teams are committed to ensuring a smooth transition while working diligently to bring you the enhanced benefits and opportunities that will result from our combined strengths and resources. We anticipate finalizing the merger before the end of 2025.

We anticipate becoming a merged entity by the end of 2025.
