Money Market Accounts
Direct Deposit

Debit Cards
2026 has seen the introduction and further expansion of other loan and savings products. Our goal is the continued development of products and services requested and needed by our membership.
Messiah has always viewed the universal credit union philosophy of “People Helping People” as an honorable mission. To consistently fulfill this mission, all of our resources must be channeled into serving our members and providing them with financial freedom by way of smart financial products, focusing on a holistic experience through superior service.
“Prosperity” is a positive word that can be defined by each individual member based on their own financial goals. It resonates with the hard-working spirit of our members who are channeling their efforts into creating a better quality of life. Messiah Baptist Church Federal Credit Union will continue to assist its members in achieving that goal.
