CCCU

[Anonymous]

It is a Christian Credit Union.  You can join by acknowledging and accepting Jesus Christ.  Right on their website.

Membership is open to individuals, churches and ministries within the Christian Community. You can be eligible or membership through family, faith or association.

Faith:
Another way individuals can join Christian Community Credit Union is by affirming the following personal Statement of Faith:

God loves us and created us to know Him. He has a wonderful plan for our lives. People are sinful and separated from God, so we cannot know Him or experience His love and plan. Jesus Christ is God’s only provision for our sin. Through Him alone we can know God and experience His love and plan. I have received Jesus Christ as my Savior and Lord.

Association:
You can also join the Credit Union if you are a member, employee, student or retirement home resident of qualifying churches, schools and ministry organizations.

Well you can have a christian relative and be a Satan worshipper I guess.

I haven't been to their site but I thought that it was against the law to not extend credit to persons because of race, religion, sexual whatever or anything of the like.  I am going to research this.

Well I dont think I blame them for putting that out there.  I dont think they actually double check to see if you;re a christian or not. Or if holy water burns.

I am going to be in so much trouble

I am a Christian but I don't believe that when it comes to CCs it should matter what you believe in order to qualify for a CC.

They really dont exclude since there is no litmus test.  Thats the beauty of true christians, they can forgive you most everything.  Because what you do is between you and the Big Guy.

They can do what they will as they are not associated with any government agencies such as the NCUA. Deposits are privately insured

Why would someone who isn't one want to be a member anyway?  Just curious.

Maybe to get the Credit card?

Because they are have been good to people with poor credit in the past.  I have not used them, but a lot of people were applying earlier this year, with a lot of success I believe

CUs are allowed to set their membership requirements as they choose. CCCU does not exclude anyone based on their religious beliefs, but they do require that you are a part of, affiliated with or related to someone in a Christian organization. They do not require that you are a bible toting quoting Christian and they don't require that you present your baptismal certificate or convert to Christianity.
