What Ministry Insurance Coverages Does my Church need
Below are a few of the ministry insurance coverages you will need to have in place to protect the members of your church. While is this not a complete list of insurance coverage it does provide you with some of the must haves as you are contemplating purchasing insurance for the ministries of your church organization.
General Liability Insurance
Most churches, initially seek out general liability insurance for their church not fully knowing what that may involve. This coverage is usually required by their landlord to ensure the landlord is protected. It is not until after the church has their first claim, that they feel a sense of peace knowing they are also protected.
Directors and Officers Insurance
Churches are considered nonprofit organizations which means you are required to have board members. These board members will need to be protected for the financial decisions they make on behalf of the church. Many church insurance companies will also include Directors and Officers insurance as part of their package policy.
Commercial Auto Insurance
Your church may have the opportunity to purchase a new church van or bus. Your ministry insurance will have specific coverages to help protect your church from an auto insurance claim. You will also want to have a coverage that is called: non-owned & hired auto insurance.
Even if your church does not own a vehicle, you may still have vehicle liability that you may not be aware of.
Church Property Insurance
Church Property insurance is there to not only protect your church buildings but also your church business personal property. No matter if you are renting or your church owns a building, it will be important to have all your property insured to the correct values.
Umbrella Insurance
Sometimes a church faces a catastrophic liability claim. In these instances, your church may need some extra protection to cover the full cost of the claim. Many church insurance companies can extend up to $5,000,000 or more, to be included as part of your ministry insurance. It is important to consider additional insurance protection as your ministries grow.
Workers’ Compensation Insurance
It is important for your ministry insurance include workers’ compensation insurance to cover the employees that are working on half of the church organization. This helps not only protect the church from a financial crisis, it also protects your people in the event they become injured and are unable to work.
