In a milestone, Christian Community Credit Union (CCCU) and AdelFi Credit Union have united to form the largest faith-based credit union in the United States. This partnership brings together two mission-driven financial institutions committed to expanding impact through biblical stewardship and values-based banking.
“This merger is a powerful reflection of what can happen when two faith-based institutions come together in unity,” said Blair Korschun, CEO of the combined credit union. “By combining our strengths and staying rooted in our shared mission, we are creating a stronger, more resilient credit union that can serve our members and ministry partners more effectively than ever before.”
Recently, AdelFi began operating as a division of CCCU under the name “AdelFi, a division of Christian Community Credit Union.” The organizations will maintain existing operations and service channels throughout a transitional period, culminating in a unified brand launch under the AdelFi name in mid-2026.
The merged credit union will be led by Blair Korschun, CEO of Christian Community Credit Union, who will continue in his role as CEO of the combined organization. Susan Rushing, interim CEO of AdelFi, has helped steward AdelFi through this intentional process of alignment, guided by faith and a shared vision. She will serve the merged credit union as chief risk officer.
The combined credit union brings together more than 125 years of collective experience in faith-centered financial services, serving individuals, families, businesses, churches, ministries and Christian schools. Members of both institutions will continue to access their current accounts, services, and staff without interruption. During the transition, they will also begin to experience expanded service capabilities, enhanced digital tools, and increased deposit protection through American Share Insurance (ASI), which offers more comprehensive coverage than the federal standard provided by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA).
This merger represents a growing trend in values-based finance — one that prioritizes faith, purpose, and impact over profit. While many mergers in the financial industry are driven by market pressures or operational efficiencies, this union is rooted in shared theological convictions and a long-standing commitment to serving with excellence and integrity.
“Our goal isn’t just to grow larger,” said Korschun. “It’s to grow deeper in our commitment to biblical generosity, faithful stewardship, and holistic service. This merger allows us to live that out more fully together.”
The organizations will begin operating as one under the AdelFi name in mid-2026, marking the official brand transition and the next chapter in a unified mission to help members unite their faith and finances.
