So, what is a certificate of insurance anyway?

A Certificate of Insurance (COI) is a simple document that shows your ministry’s active insurance coverage. Venues, landlords, or partner organizations often ask for one before you can rent space, sign a lease, or host an event. This form helps us prepare your certificate quickly so you can stay focused on ministry.

Once you complete this form, your request goes directly to your ChurchWest account manager. They’ll review the details and prepare your certificate. When it’s ready, they’ll send it to you and any other organizations that need a copy. Most certificates are turned around within one business day.

Next, let’s figure out which coverages you need listed.

What kind of coverage does your certificate need to show?

Only select the coverages that the organization requesting your certificate has explicitly asked to see. If their request isn’t clear, just upload their insurance requirements and we’ll make sure the certificate includes the right coverage.

General Liability and Property Coverage

Yes

Covers your ministry’s buildings and activities—this is the most common request.

Workers’ Compensation

Yes

Needed if the organization wants proof your staff and volunteers are protected at work.

Automobile Liability

Yes

Used if ministry vehicles are part of the agreement (parking lot, van use, etc.).

Do they need to be added to your policy?

Sometimes a certificate holder doesn’t just want proof of insurance — they want to be formally added to your policy in a special role. This gives them certain rights, like receiving notices if your coverage changes, or even being covered under your insurance for specific situations. Only check the box that matches what they’ve explicitly requested in writing.

Additional Insured

Yes

They want liability protection under your policy if something happens at your event or on their property.

Landlord

Yes

Your landlord wants to be listed because you rent or lease their space.

Loss Payee

Yes

A leasing company or lender wants to be paid first if insured property (like equipment) is damaged.

Mortgagee

Yes

A bank or lender on your ministry's loan wants notice and / or protection if there’s a loss.

Note: These descriptions are provided for general understanding only. The exact rights, limitations, and obligations are always governed by the terms and conditions of your insurance policy and any endorsements issued by the carrier.

Why do you need this certificate?

Churches and ministries request certificates for lots of different reasons. Sometimes it’s for a specific event (like a youth camp, concert, or outreach), and other times it’s for an ongoing need (like a lease or loan). Some of the questions below assume your request is for an event. If it isn’t, just skip those fields—your account manager will make sure your certificate is prepared correctly.

What is the reason for this certificate?

What activities will this certificate cover?

Who is supervising the activities? (for events at camps & retreats)

The Camp (Certificate Holder) Our Ministry (Named Insured)

If this request is for a camp or retreat, let us know who will be responsible for running and supervising the activities. This helps us understand how the risk is managed.

What dates does this certificate cover?

If this is for a specific event, enter the date or date range. If this certificate is for an ongoing agreement, you can leave this blank.

How many people are expected?

Estimate how many participants will attend. This helps us understand the scale of the event.

Will you be using any special equipment?

List any items that may affect coverage, such as vehicles, sound systems, tents, or sports gear. If none, leave blank.

Anything else we should know?

List any items that may affect coverage, such as vehicles, sound systems, tents, or sports gear. If none, leave blank.

Attachments (contracts or requirements)

If the organization gave you insurance requirements or a contract/lease, add it here. This helps us issue the right certificate on the first try.

Tip: If you selected Additional Insured, Loss Payee, Mortgagee, or requested any special wording (e.g., Primary & Non-Contributory, Waiver of Subrogation), please include the document that asks for it.
