Group Health Insurance

Group health insurance is the cornerstone of a strong benefits package for churches. By pooling employees together under a single policy, churches can access lower premiums than individual plans and provide essential medical coverage for their staff and families. Key benefits include:

    • Lower Premiums: Group rates are typically more affordable than individual coverage, making it cost-effective for your ministry.
    • Comprehensive Coverage: Protects employees from high medical expenses related to illness, injury, and preventive care.
    • Financial Protection: Shields both employees and the church from unexpected healthcare costs, reducing financial risk for all parties.
    • Employee Wellbeing: Health insurance enables staff to focus on their mission, knowing their health needs are covered, which can boost morale and productivity.

Short-Term and Long-Term Disability Insurance

Disability coverage helps protect your employees’ income if they are unable to work due to illness or injury:

  • Short-Term Disability: Replaces a portion of lost wages during temporary disabilities, ensuring financial stability during recovery.
  • Long-Term Disability: Offers continued income replacement for extended periods of disability, helping employees and their families maintain their standard of living.
  • Flexible Plan Designs: Options to tailor coverage to your church’s specific needs

Tax-Saving Benefits Opportunities

Options that can help provide tax benefit savings for ministries and their staff.

Don’t settle for traditional, limited, or more expensive plans. Christian organizations shouldn’t have to be burdened by the time and expertise it takes to navigate a bad plan or coordinate their own.

If you let us help, we can connect you with trusted, faith-focused benefits agents, who can help build a customized benefits plan for you and your employees, simplify complex options, and help your employees understand their choices. Plus, they manage everything for you: keeping the plans organized, sending a single monthly bill, and auto-deducting premiums from payroll.

Your employees get to choose a plan that works best for them, and your organization can steward the cost savings back into its core mission.
