Few things in this world are more important and more rewarding than the ministry of the church.
Today’s church is reaching out in many ways, from small group Bible studies to foreign missions trips. Yet, unfortunately, it is increasingly the targets of attacks and lawsuits from every area imaginable. This makes church insurance both critical and complicated. At the Gutwein Agency, we believe in the ministry of the local church. Through our partnership with Brotherhood Mutual, we are committed to its success. Brotherhood Mutual has insured America’s churches and related ministries for 90 years. They offer the coverage that churches need to minister confidently in today’s world. Many of these types of coverages cannot be found elsewhere, reflecting their commitment to providing cutting-edge protection to the local church.
