Insurance is an integral part of a thriving church

Do you have everything covered in your community?

No matter how good your risk management practices are, there could still always be an unexpected incident that’s beyond your control. Insurance is a critical part of your church’s risk management strategy, so it is crucial to get it right.

Churches of Christ Insurance has the know-how, experience and built-to-purpose insurance program to help you. Make sure you adequately protect your church property and assets, as well as your congregation, elected leaders and ministers as they carry out their work for the church.

Making sure your church is a safe place to work and worship

Churches of Christ Insurance has the experience you can rely on

In the unfortunate event of an incident on your church’s property, the buck stops at your doorstep. If your church community is not covered, you may risk a substantial fine or even imprisonment if the event is considered serious enough.

Practising good stewardship is an important commitment to your church and the wider community, and it doesn’t have to be daunting . Churches of Christ Insurance can help you with education and advice on achieving compliance as well as the all-important cover for unforeseen circumstances.

Our history

We've grown so we can give stability to your future

Churches of Christ Insurance was launched in 2008, when the Churches of Christ recognised advantages in having greater control over our insurance needs.

A faith-based, not-for-profit organisation, our aim is to:

Determine the shape of our insurance program, moulding it around common requirements of the Churches of Christ
Control outcomes and ensure the best results for our churches in the wake of an insurable event
Deliver the attentive, personalised service that can’t be offered by the larger insurance organisations

Churches of Christ Insurance first operated in Victoria and Tasmania, then in May 2011, Churches of Christ Western Australia joined the program. Subsequently, South Australia, the Northern Territory and Queensland have all come on board, making our insurance program available across most of Australia. This has enabled us to utilise greater buying power through bundling and group insurance, leading to even greater cost savings for our member churches, agencies and departments.

Why we do it

Our sole purpose is to serve our churches

Churches are unique communities, with unique needs and responsibilities. When it comes to insurance, this can be achieved by providing a comprehensive package of insurance policies to best serve the needs of our constituents, which includes pastors and other ministers, volunteers, and congregations.

Our insurance package includes:

Cover to suit your requirements from property, liability and professional indemnity to travel, motor vehicle and personal accident insurance
Fast and friendly claims service
General services including providing advice, information and Certificates of Currency
Cost effectiveness for our policyholders, achieved through group insurance and large-scale buying power
Assistance with risk management through the Red Book program
Free membership to ChildSafe

Our ongoing mission is to offer a personalised, professional and efficient service that best serves the unique and individual needs of our churches.
