A ministry is a place of worship, a community hub and a place where we come to share our love of God. Your ministry may also extend beyond your church buildings as you reach out to support the broader community.
As you go about daily ministry, it is a reality that despite best efforts, accidents and incidents can happen including:
What insurance cover does the church need?
As a church leader it is important to have adequate insurance cover to protect people and property. Each church will have different insurance needs, but you might consider:
Protecting church property
Industrial Special Risks insurance protects against damage to church buildings or loss of church property.
Protecting church staff
Workers Compensation Insurance is compulsory insurance to protect ministry workers if they suffer work-related illness or injury.
Protecting volunteers
Volunteers need to be insured against personal injury and accidents when working for your ministry.
Protecting the community
If a member of the broader community is injured, or their property is damaged, Public Liability Insurance protects them, if they need to make a claim.
Other types of insurance
Other insurance that you might need to consider for your ministry includes, professional indemnity insurance, travel insurance and motor vehicle insurance.
