Heightening Presence
Goshen Community Bank is growing to meet the banking needs of our community – both literally and figuratively.
We worked hard to achieve strong loan, deposit and asset growth in 2004. At the same time, our building’s square footage was virtually doubled with the addition of a second floor. The bank stayed open throughout the construction and the building’s exterior has a whole new look.
Adding significantly to the bank’s visibility and identity as a good neighbor was the community involvement of our staff. In 2004, our officers and employees donated funds and volunteered time with 70 different nonprofit agencies. We have created space in the bank’s lobby so local nonprofits can promote their agencies and accept donations.
For the second year in a row, our community bank was ranked among the top 25 Small Business Administration (SBA) lenders in Indiana.
“I recently obtained an SBA loan from Goshen Community Bank to purchase a business where I worked for 29 years. Their experience with the SBA process was evident and I really appreciated how easy they made it.”
- Jeff Boomershine, President, Goshen Electric, Inc.
We have added three full-time employees, including a veteran mortgage professional. Two commercial lenders will join us in 2005. While loan growth is strong, we expect it to accelerate this year with the staff additions.
Goshen Community Bank has taken a leadership position in establishing Health Savings Accounts and offering them to the public. A full slate of financial services makes ours a unique community bank in our marketplace.
We are poised for exceptional growth in 2005. We make people smile!
