Offering you the unique coverage your ministry needs.
GuideStone® believes when the Body of Christ is healthy, it’s free to transform the world — and we want to help guide and equip your ministry and its people to do just that. So, we have teamed up with Brotherhood Mutual Insurance Company to provide churches, Christian schools, colleges and universities, camps and other ministries with tailored property and liability insurance.
Our goal is to empower your ministry and people to stay protected so you can focus on fulfilling your calling.
Cover your buildings, property and belongings. If your ministry is damaged, destroyed or the victim of theft, this policy can help lessen financial burdens resulting from a loss.
Guard your ministry, employees, leaders and volunteers from lawsuits, liabilities and losses. Also ensure that what makes your ministry unique is protected with excess liability insurance.
Provide coverage for people’s injuries and your ministry’s vehicles in the event of an accident. A commercial auto policy can help lessen financial burdens arising from vehicle liabilities, collisions, personal injury and more.
Employee Benefits
Help employees who suffer from a work-related injury or illness by offering workers’ compensation to help pay for medical, disability, rehabilitation and, in rare instances, expenses associated with death on the job.
Employer’s Liability
Protect your ministry from financial loss in the event that an employee files a suit for a work-related injury or illness.
Individual Coverage
Faith Ventures® — A simple way to book, insure and prepare for your mission trip.
Organizational Coverage
Protect your mission teams whether they are going a few miles down the road or halfway around the world.

Churches and ministry organizations like yours face a growing and overwhelming number of risks. Great protection goes beyond coverages — it also includes prevention. We designed these resources to empower and equip your ministry toward Christ-centered well-being. Read about developing policies and procedures, abuse prevention, safety and security, disaster preparation and response, overall risk management and more.
We’re focused on serving those who serve the Lord — that’s what sets our agents apart. They’re not only ministry insurance experts — they’re ministry servants. From helping you craft the right property and liability program to counseling you on risk management, they’re committed to your ministry’s well-being.
Based on recent claims data, the top claims our churches are seeing include wind damage, fire damage, hail damage, water damage, workers’ compensation, sexual acts liability and non-owned/hired car liability.

The governing board of a church plays a key role in moving the ministry toward its goals. When you accept a position on the church board, you agree to guide the church and put its interests before your own. As a result, you will be held to a higher standard of accountability than your neighbors in the congregation. As you make decisions affecting the life of the ministry, be sure you understand the top 10 things church board members should know about their ministry.
A good general rule is to use the same criteria followed by the local public school system. If the public school system is prohibited from employing the candidate, then your ministry would do well to avoid employing or involving the candidate. You can find out what criteria are used by contacting your local public school system directly or by enlisting the help of an attorney. Learn more.
Separate policies can be purchased for both special events and mission trip coverage. When an accident occurs during church, school or camp activities, accident insurance plans will help by providing coverage for medical expenses associated with accidental injuries, with deductibles as low as $0. And regardless of where your mission takes you, travel insurance is essential. Brotherhood Mutual has allied with Fly For Good® to bring mission travelers the Faith Ventures® card, an affordable travel medical insurance option that comes with single- or multi-trip plans for foreign and domestic short-term mission travel.
Property and liability insurance coverage provided by Brotherhood Mutual Insurance Company is subject to conditions, coverage limits, limitations and exclusions. For precise details of coverage, please refer to actual policy forms. These products are only available in states where Brotherhood Mutual Insurance Company is licensed and will be written in accordance with company underwriting rules. GuideStone Agency Services® is an appointed agency of Brotherhood Mutual Insurance Company in Texas, Alabama, Louisiana and Tennessee.
