Frequently Asked Questions
What is TULIP special event insurance?
TULIP stands for Tenants and Users Liability Insurance Policy. It is short term general liability insurance for an event at a church's facilities, or for ongoing use of them. If a guest is injured or the building is damaged during your use, the TULIP policy responds.
We are already a ChurchWest client. Should we still buy a policy here?
Talk to your ChurchWest agent first. The coverage you already carry may respond to what you are planning, and your agent can review it with you before you buy anything separate. This online policy is built for groups that use a facility without coverage of their own, so a quick call helps you understand which one fits. Call 800-843-6054 or reach your agent through our contact page.
Why does the church want us to carry our own coverage?
When an outside group uses a church, the church's own policy may not extend to your activities. Your TULIP policy responds to your use and names the church as an additional insured, so both of you are protected. It is the fastest way to meet what the facility asks for before your event.
We use a church every week. Can we still get a policy?
Yes. TULIP is not only for one-time events. If your group uses a church's space on an ongoing basis, coverage can be arranged for that regular use. Note how often you meet when you request your quote so it reflects your actual schedule.
How much does it cost?
Cost depends on the type, size, and length of your use. You will see your exact price online before you decide anything. There is no commitment to get the number.
How does the church get proof of coverage?
Your policy comes with a certificate of insurance naming the church as an additional insured. It arrives by email. Forward it to your church contact, or bring a printed copy.
