Metropolitan Church Federal Credit Union was formally chartered in 1949 to serve members of Metropolitan Baptist Church and their relatives. The field of membership has grown to include additional churches — St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, New First Baptist Church and Antioch United Church of Christ. As part of its mission of “People Helping People,” the scholarship program was established to provide financial support for young members entering college.
