AdelFi Credit Union, the eighth-largest credit union based in Orange County, has merged with Christian Community Credit Union of San Dimas in the San Gabriel Valley.
The union, effective this week, creates the nation’s largest faith-based credit union. AdelFi began operating this week as a division of Christian Community Credit Union. The financial organizations will start operating as a combined entity under the AdelFi name in mid-2026.
Christian Community CEO Blair Korschun will lead the combined company, while AdelFi interim CEO Susan Rushing will serve as chief risk officer.
“This merger is a powerful reflection of what can happen when two faith-based institutions come together in unity,” Korschun said in a statement.
Rushing said the merger underscores the credit union’s mission to “to follow God’s leading and seek what’s best for our members and the broader Christian community.”
