GuideStone adds property, casualty insurance

DALLAS — This fall, many Southern Baptist churches and ministries will have access to property and casualty insurance and risk management services from GuideStone Agency Services. The GuideStone Property & Casualty (P&C) Program will gradually roll out regionally over the next year. GuideStone is currently in the process of gaining a license for program implication in Alabama.

The program offers churches property and general liability insurance, workers compensation and auto insurance.
Specialty coverages such as abuse and molestation, directors and officers liability and pastoral counseling also are available. Insured churches have access to risk management services including educational seminars and programs on risk evaluation, tools to help reduce risk and preferred pricing from a vendor that provides volunteer background checks.

“This is a highly customized insurance program,” said Douglas D. Day, GuideStone’s executive officer who is giving leadership to GuideStone Agency Services. “This program is designed specifically to meet the needs of Southern Baptist churches and ministries. And we’re proud that we can bring them not only affordable insurance coverage but comprehensive educational materials and risk management tools.”
