Insurance solutions for ministry
Coverage should reflect how your church actually serves.
From the sanctuary to the church van, from pastoral care to community outreach, every part of ministry creates responsibilities worth understanding and protecting.

PropertyPeopleLeadershipMissionA connected coverage strategy
One ministry. Many exposures. A more complete conversation.
A church policy should be evaluated as more than a building limit and a liability number.
1225 Unified helps church leaders consider how property, operations, employees, volunteers, vehicles, leadership decisions, technology, and specialized ministries interact. The goal is not to sell every available coverage—it is to identify the questions that deserve an informed answer.

Replacement Cost≠Market Value
Protecting the physical ministry
Your church building may be worth more than you think.
Insurance replacement cost is not the same as market value, tax assessment, purchase price, or mortgage balance.
Specialized construction, stained glass, steeples, code requirements, debris removal, labor, materials, and regional catastrophe demand can significantly affect rebuilding costs. Inadequate values may also create a coinsurance penalty after a partial loss.
Request a property-limit review →Questions worth asking
What should your church review before renewal?
Property values
Do current limits reflect today’s cost to rebuild—not the property’s market value or an outdated estimate?
Coinsurance
Could an 80%, 90%, or 100% coinsurance requirement reduce a future claim payment if values are inadequate?
Ministry changes
Have new programs, vehicles, employees, tenants, events, or locations been properly reported and reviewed?
Liability limits
Are available limits appropriate for the church’s attendance, activities, facilities, transportation, and community reach?
Coverage availability
Not every risk belongs in one policy.
Depending on the church, location, operations, loss history, property condition, and carrier appetite, protection may require multiple policies or markets. Flood, wind, abuse liability, cyber, workers’ compensation, commercial auto, or other exposures may be separately written.
1225 Unified helps organize the overall picture so church leadership can understand how available policies work together and where limitations may remain.
These descriptions are general and educational. They do not amend, extend, or create insurance coverage. Coverage varies by carrier and policy and is subject to underwriting, limits, deductibles, conditions, exclusions, and state availability. The issued policy controls all coverage determinations.
