Ardent Credit Union recently held a groundbreaking ceremony at its soon-to-be flagship location, scheduled to be completed by the first quarter of next year in the Oaks Shopping Center.

Distinguished guests included Pennsylvania State Representative Warren Kampf, Vice President of the Black Rock Volunteer Fire Department Matt Wanamaker, and Phoenixville Area Community Services representative Donna Searchfield.

“This new facility starts a new chapter in our story where we will continue our mission and ensure our members’ expectations are always exceeded,” said Ardent President/CEO Rob Werner. “With this new location, we look to continue and grow for years to come with our new flagship facility here in Oaks.

Ardent Chairman Gloria Wilson said, “We are both honored and humbled to be a part of the Oaks community and we look forward to working together for years to come.”
