As an ELCA leader, you have been selected to oversee and manage the affairs of your Congregation or Synod. You and others are responsible for preserving and protecting its assets and financial well being. Maintaining adequate and appropriate insurance coverage will help you in this endeavor.

Your insurance policy is a legal contract. It contains important provisions, limitations, conditions, and exclusions. Each may impact the amount you recover in the event of a loss. Since insurance coverage differs between companies, it important you understand the coverage you are purchasing.

We have developed this guide to assist you in understanding some of the important insurance provisions. If you have specific questions or would like clarification, please feel free to call Charity First at 1-800-352-2761.
