Who We Serve

Church Insurance & Risk Management Services

No matter what leadership role you play, we help you be a better steward. Our church insurance products protect your ministry, and our expert guidance helps you lead with excellence.

Church community gathered together
Built for churches

Your church is one of a kind. Your policy should be too.

How many organizations require insurance for baptisms in lakes or coverage for large outdoor religious gatherings? Your church has unique challenges, which means you need unique insights.

ChurchWest Insurance specializes in property and liability coverage crafted specifically for churches and religious organizations.

Our mission is to empower church leaders to dedicate more of their efforts to spiritual growth and community support, rather than worrying about potential risks that could impact their ministry.

Our team provides comprehensive insurance solutions in several key areas:

  • Property
  • Liability
  • Commercial Auto
  • Workers' Compensation
  • Employee Benefits

When you're with us, you're part of our community. That's why we offer expert, one-on-one guidance to help you navigate the complexities of risk management for your church or religious organization.

Because at ChurchWest, our ministry is serving your ministry.

California compliance

Confused About California Bill AB-506?

In the wake of many sexual abuse tragedies, the State of California passed AB-506. This law raises the expectations on California churches for preventing and reporting child abuse. By working with ChurchWest, you'll soon be on the road to compliance.

Compliance documentation

Step 1

Policies & Procedures

First, your ministry must implement a child safety plan compliant with AB-506. Get started with a sample child safety plan courtesy of the ChurchWest Risk Management Library.
