Our Story
Over 70 years of building community, one relationship at a time
A Legacy of Trust
Founded in 1952 by the Mitchell family, First Community Bank began as a small savings and loan with a simple mission: to help our neighbors achieve their financial dreams. What started with a single branch and five employees has grown into a trusted regional institution serving thousands of families and businesses.
Through seven decades, we've remained true to our founding principles. While banking technology has evolved, our commitment to personal service has never wavered. We still believe that banking is about relationships — knowing your name, understanding your goals, and being there when you need us most.
Today, First Community Bank continues to invest in our communities through local lending, charitable giving, and volunteer service. We're proud to be more than a bank — we're your neighbors, partners, and friends.
