Christian Community Credit Union donated $50,000 to Growing Healthy Churches (GHC), a ministry focused on networking, resourcing and encouraging churches in the areas of growth, health, transformation and church planting. The contribution will go toward GHC’s initiative to establish 150 new churches in the United States and 100 new churches in Latin America by 2012. For the next three years, the Credit Union committed to give $50,000 each year for a total donation of $150,000.

“We are excited to partner with GHC in their efforts to establish new churches and help build God’s Kingdom,” said Dr. John T. Walling, Christian Community Credit Union President/CEO. “This is an opportunity for us to demonstrate the “people helping people” philosophy of the credit union movement,” Walling adds. The donation is based on members’ participation in the Credit Union’s missions-giving program.

"We are deeply grateful to Christian Community Credit Union for their support of all that God is doing in planting new congregations in the US and Latin America” stated
Dr. Paul D. Borden, GHC Executive Minister. “We look forward to strengthening our partnership and providing financial solutions to pastors and their churches."
