Our Mission, Vision, Values and Promise Statements

Bright partnerships are on a mission that matters.

A mission statement is a purpose. It is our focus, our passion, our "why." There is purpose in partnership. Ours is a bright partnership, driven by a mission to do what is right and make lives better. One thing we love about community banking is how it brings people together, pairing needs with resources, enabling dreams to become reality. A bright partnership leads to a bright future. We are making a difference, and it matters. What is our mission? Why do we do what we do? This is our mission statement and it drives us:

To provide a bright partnership that enhances the financial well-being of our customers, employees, shareholders and the communities we serve by offering flexibility, reliability, compassion, and commitment.


Bright partnerships have a vision.

When you are partnering with people on a shared mission, you are looking ahead and strategizing a bright future. You are imagining good things and how you will attain them. You are continually striving, knowing there is always a way to innovate and improve. Let's be visionary in what we hope to achieve together. A vision statement is an inspirational dream. It is who we want to be when we grow up. What is our vision? Where are we heading? This is our vision statement, and who we envision ourselves becoming:

To elevate the financial well-being of customers, employees, shareholders, and our communities through a bright partnership.


A bright partner makes a promise.

When a partner makes a promise, it is meant to be a promise for life. What does our bank promise? This is our promise, and we intend to keep it:

We promise a bright partnership.

To promise a bright partnership is to come alongside our customers, our employees, our shareholders and our communities to say, "we are in this for good."
