What if your everyday banking could help fuel ministry—without changing how you manage your money? That’s the question at the heart of a growing movement to rethink financial stewardship. For many of us, banking feels purely transactional. But what if it could become a tool for Kingdom impact?

On today’s episode of Faith & Finance, Aaron Caid joined us to share how a unique approach to banking is helping support churches, families, and ministries around the world.

Aaron Caid represents AdelFi and Christian Community Credit Union (CCCU), which recently came together to form what is now the largest faith-based credit union in the country.

2. Caring for the Vulnerable

Through partnerships with organizations such as the Christian Alliance for Orphans, financial resources have supported over 250 ministries serving orphaned and foster children. Beyond funding, families have also received guidance on navigating the financial complexities of adoption.

3. Investing in the Next Generation

Camp Agape, which serves children with incarcerated parents, is another example. Support includes both financial contributions and volunteer involvement. Many children who attend eventually return as adults to serve, creating a cycle of h
