Think back to when you were first selected to be part of your church board. If your church is like most, the process probably was not very formal. I recall my first experience in becoming a church board member. I received a phone call from a member of the nominating committee asking about my interest. There was no written description for the position, just a verbal summary of the job.

While visiting his missionary son in Portugal, Chuck Carpenter was involved in a tragic car accident. The collision killed a traveling companion and left him comatose in a Lisbon hospital ward.

If fire were to strike your sanctuary tomorrow, could you tell an insurance adjuster exactly which items were lost? Take this test:

On the Sunday morning of December 9 last year a man walked into an office of Youth With a Mission in Arvada, CO and opened fire, killing two staff members and wounding two others.

Anyone who maintains a church or Christian school knows that keeping buildings clean can involve a lot of dirty work.

Would your church’s insurance policy provide coverage if the church, the pastor, the board of directors, or the business manager was sued by an employee or former employee who claimed he or she was sexually harassed, wrongfully terminated or subjected to racial or sexual discrimination? Probably not, unless you have employment practices liability insurance (EPLI).

You may think your church is adequately covered by your property insurance policy but do you have enough crime coverage?
