Church Insurance

Pray for the best. Prepare for the worst

Churches, synagogues, mosques, and temples are so much more than places of worship—they are also community centers, employers, and oftentimes, homes. We offer customized insurance options that fit all of these unique needs.

Peace of mind when insuring a house of worship

When insuring a house of worship, you need to think of it as a building, but also as a community center, an employer, and in some cases, a religious leader's home. That is why specialized church insurance is your best route to financial peace of mind.

What does church insurance cover?

For example, a good church insurance policy does not just take care of the obvious costs such as property damage from theft, vandalism, or natural disaster, but also the unexpected associated costs. This could include having to update the building to comply with local ordinances when carrying out repairs after an incident.

Most common coverage options for houses of worship

Houses of worship are unique in the type of insurance they require for the risks they face. Ensuring that your house of worship is properly covered is important, and here are a few of the specialty coverages that can be added to a church policy:

Religious Freedom Insurance

Directors and Officers Insurance

Abuse and Molestation Insurance

Stained Glass Insurance

Professional Liability Insurance

Non-owned Auto Insurance

The gaps that a specialized policy fills in

The list of coverage items that an ordinary policy might not include is lengthy. Examples include defibrillators or other equipment needed for large groups of visitors, the personal property of religious leaders, and even the costs of repairing or replacing things like stained glass windows.

Coverage for the unexpected

You can also get coverage for liability issues, travel risks on mission trips, and the costs of recruiting a suitable religious leader if a replacement becomes necessary.
