Regent Stories – Russ Knight

They help me with my goals as a business.


For Russ Knight, business has always been about more than the bottom line. As the owner of Christian Brothers Automotive at Tulsa Hills, Russ has built a shop where every customer interaction starts with a simple question: what’s best for the person sitting across the counter?

Banking That Aligns With Who You Are

For Russ Knight, business has always been about more than the bottom line. As the owner of Christian Brothers Automotive at Tulsa Hills, Russ has built a shop where every customer interaction starts with a simple question: what’s best for the person sitting across the counter?

It’s a philosophy that extends to every part of his business, including who he banks with. When Russ connected with Regent Bank a decade ago, he found something rare: a financial partner that operates the same way he does. Not just with expertise, but with purpose.

“As a believer, it’s important for me to connect with people that align with my values,” Russ says. That alignment isn’t something he takes lightly—it’s the foundation of a relationship that’s lasted ten years and counting.

As a believer, it’s important for me to connect with people that align with my values.

Banking Built on Shared Values

Regent Bank was founded on the belief that business and faith aren’t separate pursuits—they strengthen each other. Our Faith in Business events bring together local business owners, leaders, and community members for conversations that go beyond the balance sheet.

For customers like Russ, these gatherings aren’t a perk—they’re proof. Proof that Regent doesn’t just talk about values; we build a community around them. It’s what Russ means when he says he can trust that Regent will “tell our story in a good way.” That kind of confidence doesn’t come from a transaction—it comes from a relationship.
