Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Insurance renewal time is at hand. We are aware of how difficult it was last year to obtain property coverage within a short period of time. We are encouraging all our churches to start early this year, and we are providing a list of companies we are partnering with that will be Preferred Providers. We have made them aware of our needs as a conference and have worked with them to make sure that they all work with high capacity underwriters. As you begin your search for property insurance we recommend you contact them for a quote. If you have another provider and are satisfied with their service please feel free to work with them.

We will be offering a Group Liability, D&O (Directors’ & Officers’) liability and Workers’ Comp plan for all churches. You may bundle your liability coverage with your property insurance provided that it includes General Liability, Sexual Misconduct and Directors’ and Officers’ liability coverages and you add the Rio Texas Conference as an additional insured.

We do ask that you contact George Ballard at the Conference office to notify us if your church already has property and liability coverage with another insurer and is going to opt out of the conference Liability and D&O coverage. A copy of the Certificate of liability must be provided if you are opting out of the group plan.

If you have any questions please contact George Ballard at the Conference office. We look forward to the opportunity to help in any way.
