Over the last several months we have been closely monitoring the situation surrounding the Coronavirus (COVID-19) and have taken guidance from the World Health Organization (WHO), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), regional, state and local authorities. I am pleased to let our valued members know that all branch services in our lobbies and drive thru’s are now fully operational.

A report by the Department of Insurance and Financial Services states,  “An alert issued by the U.S. Secret Service explained an international crime ring is exploiting the COVID-19 crisis by committing large-scale fraud against multiple state unemployment insurance programs, with potential losses in the hundreds of millions of dollars.”

We are happy to announce the reopening of our branch lobbies!

When times are tough and a large number of consumers are struggling, con artists see this as an opportunity to take advantage of consumer’s fears. The best weapons against these scams are consumer awareness and education. 

On behalf of Christian Financial Credit Union, I’d like to take the opportunity to welcome each Motor City Co-Op Credit Union member as part of our own membership. We are thrilled to have you with us!

With approval from federal and state regulators and an overwhelmingly affirming vote from members at a meeting held on Dec. 10, 2019, Motor City Co-op Credit Union and Christian Financial Credit Union will merge, effective April 1, 2020 with technology systems converting in September 2020.

The year 2020 marks 70 fruitful years of helping our members achieve their financial goals. Whether that is helping improve finances, getting out of debt, or obtaining a loan for your first car or home, Christian Financial has been here to help. It’s been our privilege to serve our members and we hope to continue to do so for another 70 years.

Last month Christian Financial opened its doors to welcome employees at our new headquarters in Sterling Heights. The last few weeks have been filled with anticipation and enthusiasm as staff members explore their new surroundings and settle into their new working spaces. Having our back office operations under one roof is a special treat, as previous space constraints kept our operations separated amongst several branches.

Credit Unions were forged from the crucible of hard times - aiding people with crop failures in Europe, offering immigrant mill workers in New England a better life, and keeping families afloat during the Great Depression. Those are the strands of credit union DNA and the origins of the credit union philosophy of people helping people.

Looking over our credit union’s 68-year history, there has never been a more exciting time to be a member. Our largest project to date is our new headquarters building located in Sterling Heights. This past summer, structural steel beams went up for a sound and stable frame. On October 19, 2018, Christian Financial made their mark on the final structural beam placement to complete the frame of the building. These are the words I chose from the Book of Proverbs to write on the last beam:

It is with great sadness that I write that Board Member James Joseph (Jim) Shereda Sr., died peacefully December 11 surrounded by the love of his family. Jim joined the board of Christian Financial upon the merger of ARC Credit Union with Christian Financial in the Fall of 2013 and was currently serving as the Vice Chair of the CFCU Board.

At Christian Financial, we believe protecting the privacy and security of our member’s accounts is one of our most important responsibilities.

On May 29, 2018, Christian Financial held our ceremonial blessing and groundbreaking ceremony on the site of our new 40,000 square foot new headquarters.
