Church Mutual is the largest insurer of religious institutions in the country, with a history dating back more than 120 years.
The company insures houses of worship, human services organizations, camps, public schools, parochial schools and senior-living facilities.
“All the niches we go after really have special characteristics that require that additional expertise on underwriting, risk control and claims. There’s a high degree of special handling required,” said Guy Russ, assistant VP-Risk Control.
The carrier operates nationwide and distributes through both company employee-agents as well as independent agents and brokers.
Direct written premiums for 2020 totaled nearly $1.1 billion.
