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](/insurance/specialty) 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](/insurance/specialty/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](/insurance/specialty/religious-institution-insurance) that anoint this space as holy. ## Religious Institution Insurance: More Than A Title What separates the policies written by our [professional advisers](/about) here at Pepper, Johnstone & Company from others is the relationships we build with you and your ministry, parish, mosque, or temple.
