4 <strong>Important</strong> <strong>Covers</strong> <strong>Your</strong> <strong>Minneapolis</strong><br />

<strong>Church</strong> <strong>Insurance</strong> <strong>Should</strong> <strong>Include</strong><br />

One very good question is what exactly your <strong>Minneapolis</strong> <strong>Church</strong> <strong>Insurance</strong> cover. But<br />

surprisingly, this question is not asked enough. This could be the reason for confusion and<br />

misconception when it comes to filing a claim for a fair and reasonable compensation.<br />

Therefore, it helps to know that what are the areas are covered under your church<br />

insurance so that you can receive a fair compensation in case of any unfortunate<br />

happening. It is also suggested to church managements that they should talk in detail with<br />

their respective insurance agency about their foremost needs and requirements so that it<br />

could offer the best plan for you that covers every aspect of your church and its services.<br />

This article discusses about important things that you should get covered under your church<br />

insurance so that in event of any mishappening; you have the backing support of your<br />

insurance coverage. Here are things that your church insurance policy should include.<br />

Protection Against Legal Action: There is a common feeling amongst some churches that<br />

they are immune from liability. The important think they seem to ignore is even if no wrong<br />

has been done from their end, they can still be sued and it will have to defend itself in the<br />

court. Lack of properly placed insurance coverage can result in hefty cost and much<br />

inconvenience to the church management. <strong>Church</strong> can be sued from anyone, including its<br />

employees, members, guests and other individuals. A general liability policy provides<br />

coverage against any claim of bodily injury or accusations of property damage.


Protection Against Property Damage: Every church owns property including building,<br />

artwork, pews, instruments etc, for which it needs church building insurance coverage. This<br />

type of insurance covers any type of partial or major damage to the church building due to<br />

events like fire, wind, earthquake, etc,. <strong>Your</strong> church insurance policy should have provision<br />

for church building, items inside it, and coverage for damages that put your services on<br />

hold.<br />

Protection Against Accusations Of Sexual Abuse: With over 90% of sex offenders describing<br />

themselves as “religious”, there is a need of every church to get insured under a policy that<br />

allows itself to defend against the accusation of child sexual abuse. Since churches work<br />

with children, there is always a possibility of parents/ guardians accusing church's staff and<br />

members of sexual abuse regardless of any wrongdoing occurred or not. No church<br />

insurance program should be without this provision.<br />

Protection Against Workers Compensation: Like any other organization, church too has its<br />

own employees that are enrolled for providing their services and assisting in general<br />

operations. In case any worker sustains injury while performing church's operations, you<br />

could be held legally liable for his injury and can be sued in the court. To safeguard against<br />

such incidents, it is extremely important that churches should purchase workers<br />

compensation under <strong>Minneapolis</strong> <strong>Church</strong> <strong>Insurance</strong> to be on the safer side in case any of its<br />

workers gets injured while doing his work.<br />

Above mentioned are only four of the most important insurance coverages your church<br />

needs. There are other aspects too which should be covered under your church insurance<br />

so that your church has both legal and financial support at the right time without facing an<br />

interrupting its services.<br />
