Carrier appetite summary
Church Pension Group’s Church Insurance operation is a niche religious-institution carrier focused on The Episcopal Church. Official materials consistently position the target market as Episcopal churches, dioceses, and related institutions/entities rather than general commercial business. Property and casualty coverage is marketed for Episcopal churches, dioceses, parishes, and other church entities, with broad service and risk-management support. Published product menu includes property, liability, crime/dishonesty bond, D&O, EPLI, business auto, workers’ compensation/employers’ liability, international travel, and excess liability. Property forms highlight church-specific property exposures such as stained glass, pipe organs, altarware, bells, fine art, and relics, indicating preference for traditional Episcopal worship campuses and institutional church property schedules. Workers’ comp is described as state-mandated employee injury protection for church organizations and is part of the core offering. Geographic note: products may vary by state, may not be available in all states, and Church Insurance is not licensed in all states; some coverages are placed with affiliated underwriting companies or unaffiliated insurers through the agency operation. International travel materials also note that some destinations may have unavailable or limited coverage. No standalone broker appetite guide, producer appointment page, or class-by-class decline list was found on the official site. Operationally, this appears to be a relationship/service model rather than an open wholesale/broker submission platform. New business instruction published publicly is to call client service for a free quote; service hours shown are Monday-Friday, 7:30 AM-6:30 PM CT. For inquiries, prospects and insureds are directed to call 800-293-3525 or use the Ask An Expert contact form. Submission expectations publicly visible are limited, but the site emphasizes institution identification details in contact forms (organization name, diocese, city/state) and supports certificate requests through liability/property certificate forms. Broker/producer notes: no external producer portal or broker submission packet was verified; instead, policyholders manage policies, billing, and claims through Church Insurance Online Service via My Admin Portal, rolled out by renewal date. Claims reporting instructions are detailed: report immediately by phone or email, include loss date/contact/details, and submit police reports, estimates, photos, and receipts; sensitive claims can be escalated directly to senior claims staff. Restricted/declined classes are not expressly published, but based on the official positioning, risks outside Episcopal churches/dioceses/parishes/related church entities should be treated as outside stated appetite unless confirmed directly with Church Insurance.
