About PCU.

Established in 1967. Continuing strong today.

Pathway Credit Union was established as a financial institution to meet the growing needs of the Church of God entities. Each member of the credit union is part owner of the organization.

Members in good standing are privileged to vote for the Board of Directors. Each year financial gains are returned to the members in the form of dividends or other benefits.

Membership is available to employees and their families of the following entities: Church of God ministers, Church of God International Offices, Church of God of Prophecy International Offices, Lee University staff and administration, Smoky Mountain Children's Home, Pentecostal Theological Seminary, Pathway Press, and State/Regional Offices of Church of God. In addition local church paid employees as well as Tennessee and North Georgia Church of God members are eligible for membership.

Our Mission

As an independent credit union, we are committed to working for the best interests of our members.


Pathway Credit Union is working to create a fully functional, frictionless, self-service mobile branch to enable our members to utilize their PCU membership around the country or even the globe.  We strive to provide the best possible credit union and related products and services.

Our efficient team of professionals truly care about the members they serve, and each team member is committed to earning the trust and loyalty of our members by listening and responding to each specific need. We strive to provide outstanding value, remain financially strong, and always conduct business with integrity.

We proudly accept our responsibility as a corporate citizen, contributing in a positive way to individuals, businesses, and the institutions in the communities we serve.

Our History

Since 1967 Pathway Credit Union has been committed to the progress and integrity of the credit union.


The mission to serve our members has been the paramount objective since the beginning. The people responsible for this visionary venture were extraordinary. They started a journey of faith, sacrifice, and commitment.

Pathway Credit Union has grown in members, assets, and profits; yet, the mission has been consistent. That mission is to serve the shareholders with the stewardship of trust they deserve to have in their credit union.

Our officers and committees keep the credit union in pace with the times and up to date with financial data.
