President's Message

Effective 10-31-2021, First Federal Community Bank of Bucyrus (FFCB), a community bank based in Bucyrus, Ohio, has acquired Lighthouse Mortgage Services/Lighthouse Commercial Mortgage, a commercial and residential mortgage brokerage firm in Columbus, Ohio. FFCB President and CEO, Brad Murtiff, stated that this acquisition has been in the works for nearly a year, and will provide a strategic entry into the Commercial Secondary Market. “We have known Vernon Morrison, Lighthouse President and CEO, for quite a while, and are very familiar with his highly successful commercial and residential mortgage origination business. Over the years, he and his staff have earned a great reputation for providing high quality commercial and residential mortgage products to homeowners and business owners alike. This acquisition provides FFCB with the tools to enter the highly competitive commercial secondary market. We certainly look forward to continuing to grow the relationships that Lighthouse has fostered. The integration of these two companies will further strengthen the offerings of FFCB and continue our commitment to our core values.”
