The new name and supporting brand were launched on July 1, 2022. By simplifying its name, the organization is working to align its history and vision more closely for the future.

“Moving forward as Grace Financial creates an opportunity for our team to grow and adapt based on the needs of our constituency and churches,” said Grace Financial’s President and CEO, Ryan Bowell. “We look forward to serving churches, schools and other organizations affiliated with the Charis Fellowship, and hope to build on the investments and loans we’re able to provide so they can further strengthen their Christ-centered efforts.”

Grace Financial’s long-standing presence in Winona Lake has served to strengthen connections with the community and other local Fellowship organizations such as Grace College and Theological Seminary and Grace Village Retirement Community. It is also a member of the Kosciusko County Chamber of Commerce. Additionally, Grace Financial invests its earnings back into the Fellowship through contributions to church planting and leadership development which have benefited several area ministries.
