Church connect

Insurance that is designed for churches that own or lease their premises, taking into consideration the wide range of activities they engage in.

Key features

Church connect is insurance specifically designed for churches that own or lease their premises and takes into account the wide range of activities in which they are involved.

Churches provide a wide range of support for the communities in which they operate. We can meet the insurance needs of your church for the following activities:

  • Meetings and services
  • Young people’s work (including any church-run after-school care, nursery school, playgroup or youth group)
  • Community work (including domestic work and domestic gardening)
  • Selling religious and other items from your premises for the benefit of your church funds
  • Office and administration work and storing your property

There are many other activities which present a higher risk of injury or damage so we will expect you to tell us about these and then we will confirm if they can be insured or not. Please see our product brochure for detailed examples of activities you should tell us about.

  • Contents

  • We are proud to be part of the Benefact Group – a charity owned, international family of specialist financial services companies, that gives all available profits to charity and good causes. We’re built on the idea that better business, can better lives.
  • We specialise in insuring the third sector.
  • Every three years we run our donation programme which invites applications from charities involved in promoting healthy lifestyles to children and young adults. Money is then donated to the winning three charities to help them run their specific programmes.
  • We pride ourselves on offering an excellent personal service and a fast and sympathetic response to claims.
  • Not only do we insure the third sector, we also have our own Community Hub, within our offices. This is a flexible space for local charities to meet, network and host their own events - for free. This is one small way we are giving back to the sector.
