Invest in Common Shares

Our Vision

To be the recognized leader in applying Christian values to financial services.
- Psalm 24:1


Build on a solid foundation by investing in Common Shares* and make a difference in the lives of more Christians.

Christian Credit Union is being blessed with growth in membership, assets, loans, and revenue. We are very thankful for all this growth, and yet it leads to a new challenge – we need to increase our capital to keep pace with growth. Most of our capital is made up of retained earnings from previous profits but the current interest rate environment means that we cannot generate enough profit to keep pace with our growth. As a result we are asking our members to consider investing some of their money into common shares at the Credit Union. Investing in common shares will support our ability to grow and support the Christian community in Alberta but you will have to keep in mind that common shares are not easily accessible and are not guaranteed by the Credit Union Deposit Guarantee Corporation. We will be working on additional ways to increase investment in capital at the Credit Union over the next several months. Stay tuned!

- John Veldkamp, CEO
