Not true.
While annuities are often associated with retirement income, they can be a valuable tool long before you retire. Starting earlier gives your money more time to grow and can help you build a future stream of income on your terms.

What to know:
โ€ข Start early: Deferred annuities allow you to invest today and build income for the future
โ€ข Tax advantages: Growth is tax deferred, helping your money compound over time
โ€ข Future income: You can create a reliable income stream when you are ready
Annuities are not just for retirementโ€ฆ. They are for planning ahead.

Financial confidence starts with the decisions you make today for the future you want tomorrow.

Itโ€™s a common belief, but the truth is, the younger and healthier you are, the more affordable and flexible the options.

Why it matters now:

Since February 14, 1892, GCU has been guided by a vision of faith, service, and community. For 134 years, our foundersโ€™ commitment has inspired generations of members to protect families, strengthen parishes, and give back to their communities.

What makes this day extra special? Itโ€™s Valentineโ€™s Day โ€” a perfect reminder that the love we share through our faith, our families, and our fraternal bonds is at the heart of everything we do.

Today, we honor our foundersโ€™ legacy, celebrate our heritage, and continue their mission of service with love.

Happy Foundersโ€™ Day!

This Christmas season, GCU was proud to participate in toy drives that helped make the holidays brighter for children in our communities.

Jeremy Stephenson, GCU CEO, and Father Val Michlik, GCU Spiritual Advisor, are pictured with Saint Nicholas with an incredible collection of toys donated by GCU staff to benefit the Beaver Falls, PA Salvation Army. Thanks to everyone who contributed, many children will have a joyful Christmas!

At GCUโ€™s Saint Nicholas Celebration in Hazleton, PA, members and guests donated Christmas presents in support of the Hazleton Catholic Social Services Toy Drive.

Pictured with Saint Nicholas (from left): Father Eugene Hradil; Melissa Jaggars, GCU Corporate Community Events Coordinator; Margie Sheeto; Rick Hoppey; Mike Komishock; Kevin Yurkanin, GCU Hazleton Constellation Coordinator; and Father Vasyl Chepelskyy.

It was heartwarming to see our GCU community come together to help put smiles on childrenโ€™s faces this holiday season.
Thank you to everyone who donated and supported these wonderful causes!

Be sure to check out GCUโ€™s February magazine to see more Christmas events from our parishes and members.

AM Best Affirms GCUโ€™s A- (Excellent) Rating

We are proud to share that AM Best has reaffirmed GCUโ€™s A- (Excellent) Financial Strength Rating.

What does an A- (Excellent) mean? Itโ€™s assigned to insurance companies that, in the opinion of AM Best, have an excellent ability to meet their ongoing insurance obligations. In short, itโ€™s an independent validation that GCU continues to stand on a solid financial foundationโ€”reliable, resilient, and ready to serve our members for generations to come.

Since 1892, GCU has stood strong for our members and communities. As we continue to grow coast to coast, weโ€™re investing in our modern digital strategy to make doing business with GCU easier and more connected than ever. Our best days are still ahead!
