From a rural chapel with 40 members to a multi-campus church with a school, café, and broadcast ministry, we build insurance programs around how your church actually operates.

Every congregation is different — the way you use your building, the ministries you run, and the events you host all shape the risks you carry. Our agents take the time to understand your ministry before recommending coverage, so you're never paying for protection you don't need or missing protection you do.

Common Risks We Cover

Houses of worship face a wider range of exposures than most people realize, from the building itself to the people who move through it every week.

Aging sanctuaries, steeples, and stained glass
Youth groups, nurseries, camps, and mission trips
Church vans and buses
Facility rentals, weddings, festivals, and community events
Food service, daycares, and schools operated by the church

Coverage Built Around Your Ministry

A typical church package combines property, general liability, abuse & molestation, and workers' comp — with D&O, cyber, auto, and umbrella added as your ministry grows. As independent agents, we compare specialty church carriers side-by-side so you see real options, not one company's offer.

Churches Insurance — FAQs

Does our church need workers' comp if staff are mostly volunteers?

Most states require workers' comp for any paid employee, including part-time pastoral or administrative staff, even if the majority of your ministry runs on volunteers.

Are mission trips and off-site youth events covered?

Many church liability policies extend to off-premises activities like mission trips, camps, and youth outings, but the details vary by carrier — we make sure your policy actually matches your calendar.

Can we insure a van or bus used to transport members?

Yes. Church-owned vehicles typically need a dedicated commercial auto policy rather than a personal auto policy, and we help you find carriers comfortable insuring church fleets.

What if we rent our facility out for weddings or community events?

Facility rental income and outside groups using your building both create liability exposure. We structure coverage — and can help you require proof of insurance from renters — so your church isn't left holding the risk.
