BALTIMOR, MD (February 13, 2025) |
Securityplus Federal Credit Union continues to champion local businesses, particularly within Baltimore’s Black-owned and minority-owned business communities. A testament to this commitment is its recent partnership with New Vision 4 Life Kingdom Builders and its visionary leader, Pastor Apostle Etta Banks.
After years of leasing, Pastor Banks and her ministry have successfully secured a permanent worship space at 6428 Kriel Street, Gwynn Oak, MD. This milestone was made possible through a tailored Commercial Real Estate Loan from Securityplus Federal Credit Union, reinforcing the institution’s dedication to supporting local entrepreneurs and organizations.
Pastor Banks first connected with Securityplus after experiencing exceptional service at the Woodlawn branch. Seeking a financial partner that offered competitive rates, flexible terms, and a deep understanding of church financing, she found Securityplus to be uniquely positioned to meet her needs.
Recognizing that many traditional lenders hesitate to finance churches, Securityplus stepped up—crafting a loan solution that ensured the ministry’s long-term financial stability while allowing room for growth.
With its new facility, New Vision 4 Life Kingdom Builders is expanding its mission to serve the community in even greater ways, including:
- Launching a Christian Academy to instill biblical values in young students.
- Offering leadership, ministry, and marketplace training to equip community members with essential skills.
This partnership underscores Securityplus’ role as a champion for minority-owned businesses and organizations, fostering financial independence and community transformation.
To commemorate this achievement, New Vision 4 Life Kingdom Builders will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Saturday, March 29, 2025, at 2:00 PM at 6428 Kriel Street, Gwynn Oak, MD. Community members are invited to attend and celebrate this exciting new chapter with Pastor Banks and her congregation.
