Religious institution insurance: getting proper protection from specialty insurance


Here at Pepper, Johnstone & Company, we cover our clients with risk-specific insurance designed for total protection. Today, we’re going to talk about protecting your religious institution through specialty insurance. 

Not just any insurance will cover your business, organization, or institution. Business managers, executives, and other institutional leaders often think that the combination of general liability, workman’s comp, and property and casualty insurance covers practically anything. But in many cases, what’s required is specialty insurance. 

This couldn’t be further from the truth. Along with a litany of other widely-required insurance policies, Specialty insurance pinpoints the specific risks associated with your organization’s line of work or activity. This is particularly true of religious institutions. 

 

What Is Religious Institution Insurance?


The importance of preserving our institutions is inherent in their very definition: institutions are the structures, both literal and figurative, which maintain order and civility. In today’s day and age, our religious institutions face a number of threats, from force majeure and acts of God to petty vandalism and outright violence.  

One of Pepper, Johnstone & Company’s most important specialty insurance offerings is religious institution insurance. Religious institution insurance protects precisely that which you will find in your house of worship. Altars, pews, Bibles, Torahs, stained glass, statues, and other structures—religious institution insurance protects all the indelible items that anoint this space as holy. 

 

Religious Institution Insurance: More Than A Title


What separates the policies written by our professional advisers here at Pepper, Johnstone & Company from others is the relationships we build with you and your ministry, parish, mosque, or temple. More than understanding the traditions and values of religious institutions, we’re interested in getting to know the nuances and idiosyncrasies of your institution. 

 

Getting To Know You & Your Congregation


Understanding your organization helps us design an insurance program that fits your precise needs. Countless clients have attested to the important role we have played in getting to know their businesses, organizations, and institutions. And, in getting to know your religious institution, we get to know you, and the rest of your congregants and constituents. 

Houses of worship are their members. The values and traditions mean little if they are not shared among those who come to tell stories and pray. Our policies are geared, more than anything, toward protecting everyone—parishioners, clergy, ministers, rabbis—from accidents, medical issues, and more. And, should anything happen, Pepper, Johnstone & Company will make absolutely certain that your institution is protected in the event of any hateful or violent acts. 

 

Put Your Worries To Rest


In the end, it’s all about making sure that everybody can attend the act of worship and the joys of community. Worrying about whether you will be able to continue to serve your community in the event of unforeseen risks throws these things off course.
