For churches

Reach out for the right protection Through your work with the church, you reach out to a vast number of people who depend on you for spiritual enrichment, counseling and a helping hand. Our All Churches Protection Package combines the right coverages you need to provide a complete insurance program geared to the special needs of the church. We offer a host of special coverages for your church, plenty of optional coverages and related life insurance protection.

If you’d like to learn more about this special program, contact an agent in your area. Or, get in touch with our office nearest you.

Protect your facilities Our broad range of property coverage provides protection for your financial assets, insuring your buildings and contents as well as many other items on your church premises, such as:
  • Statuary and yard fixtures
  • Signs, fences and recreational equipment
  • Trees, shrubs and plants
  • Stained glass windows (optional)
  • Typical inside items that are covered include: Pews, seats, tables and railings
  • Altars
  • Clocks and bells
  • Permanently attached communications equipment

With our package, you also receive temporary coverage for newly constructed and/or newly acquired buildings, as well as personal property at newly acquired locations.

Your money and securities are also insured under our property coverage in addition to your valuable papers and records. Our extra expense feature reimburses you if you must rent additional space or equipment as a result of covered damage on your premises.

Protect your staff Because the nature of your work requires interaction with a great number of people, it’s important that you protect yourself—as well as your staff and volunteers—against possible liability claims brought against you. Our comprehensive liability coverage provides the right protection to guard against those liability claims that could arise from:
  • Counseling by a pastor
  • Professional services of a teacher. Optional coverage is available to provide protection against claims arising from corporal punishment.
  • Bodily injury caused to others while on or off church premises
  • Incidental medical malpractice by a professional on your staff
  • Injury or damage caused by volunteers during a church function

Special coverage is also included to pay medical expenses for anyone injured on your church premises, without regard to legal liability.

As with all liability coverage, the cost of defense and supplementary payments are paid in addition to any judgements granted.

Optional coverages for your church We offer over 35 options to help you customize your program, including:
  • Employee dishonesty With your choice of limits per occurrence.
  • Systems breakdown For heating, air conditioning and electrical systems used to maintain your business.
  • CompuPak® Comprehensive coverage to insure your information processing systems against mechanical breakdown, electrical or magnetic erasure of tapes, sabotage and many other types of loss. Covers both your hardware and software.
  • Group coverages Group term life and short-term or long-term disability coverage is available to protect—and help you retain—your employees. The cost is surprisingly low.
  • Business continuation This coverage integrates a funded buy/sell agreement into your plan, protecting the interest of the owners and the future of your operations.
  • Building ordinance or law coverage To cover increased costs in construction related to local or federal regulations.
  • Employment practices liability This coverage protects you against loss resulting from a wide range of employee lawsuits, including discrimination, sexual harassment and wrongful termination.
  • Employee benefits liability coverage To protect you against errors and omissions in administering your employee plans.
  • Low-cost fidelity bond If you provide a qualified pension plan, this is the ideal way to meet your legal requirements (ERISA) to protect plan participants against theft of funds.
  • Workers compensation Yes, this absolutely essential coverage is available for your business. Ask your agent for details.

Life insurance protection We can also handle all of your business life insurance needs. Some examples include:
  • Key employee coverage Designed to protect your business upon the loss of a key employee. Funds can be used to find, hire and train a replacement, as well as compensate for lost business during the transaction.
  • Simplified pension plans Owners of small businesses can turn to either a SEP-IRA or a Simple IRA to get the benefits of a qualified pension plan without the higher administrative costs and paperwork hassles.
  • Debt protection This coverage can secure the funds needed to pay off a company’s debt upon the death of an owner, helping the business continue as a viable entity during this difficult time.
  • Non-qualified executive plans A business may want to reward key people in the organization with such executive plans as deferred compensation, executive bonus and split dollar coverage. Each plan rewards the executive while tying them more closely to the continued success of the business.
