Property & liability insurance crafted for churches and ministries
From steeples to people, we’re called to protect Christian churches, schools, colleges, and camps as they serve their mission and advance their community.
Here are a few highlights
Ministry Continuation Coverage
Provides funds to continue your ministry operations during a restoration period by covering actual loss of earnings, donations, and expenses.
Religious Freedom Protection
Shields against emotional injury claims from faith-based acts and aids in discrimination cases tied to beliefs.
Diminishing Deductible
If your ministry is without a payable claim for two years or more, we reduce your deductible on a future covered claim.
What’s in a Brotherhood Mutual policy?
Not every insurance policy is the same, but they’re often sold that way.
At Brotherhood Mutual, we construct our coverages to fill the gaps that can leave ministries vulnerable to risks.
