Workers' Compensation in Connecticut
Connecticut requires workers' compensation from the first employee — full-time or part-time, churches included. There is no charitable exemption. Pay-as-you-go options fit the part-time staffing patterns of most Connecticut congregations.
Connecticut Property Risks
Winter is the claims engine — freeze, ice damming, and burst pipes in buildings that sit empty most of the week — while coastal congregations along the Sound add hurricane wind deductibles to the checklist. Historic timber-frame meetinghouses need realistic replacement valuations and ordinance-and-law coverage; most are underinsured against today's construction costs.
What Drives Church Insurance Cost in Connecticut
We do not publish premium figures, because two Connecticut congregations of the same size can price very differently. What actually moves the number here is valuation on older New England buildings, liability limits, payroll, and program exposure, along with your loss history and the limits your board chooses — particularly the sexual abuse and molestation limit and whether defense costs sit inside or outside it. The only reliable answer is a side-by-side comparison of what the church carriers will do with your specific building, staff and programs, which we prepare at no cost.
