Our
Values
Selflessness
It’s not about “me”, it’s about “we”. Most of all, it’s about our members.
Strength
Our longevity and success comes from being strong and purposeful for 125+ years.
Integrity
Even when it’s easier not to, always do the right thing. Treat members like family. Make them feel cared for and like they belong.
Excellence
Keep trying to make our products and services better. Don’t cut corners. Always ask how we could have done better.
Humanity
We’re all on this earth together, trying to build good lives for our loved ones and ourselves. Focus on the things we have in common with our members.
Faith
Stay true to our charter and honor the living Byzantine Catholic foundation GCU was built upon.
Charity
Let each of you look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.
Members
not
customers
GCU is different.
As a fraternal benefit society, we exist to improve the lives of our members, not shareholders.
