The American Church Group of Minnesota, a part of the Bitner Henry Insurance Group, is an independent insurance agency that works to secure insurance coverage for churches, schools, and nonprofits in Minnesota and 7 other states. As one of the largest independent agencies that serves faith-based organizations, the agency is well-versed in how to help churches, nonprofits, and schools secure insurance coverage. American Church Group of Minnesota serves churches and faith-based organizations in all of Minnesota, including in the Minneapolis, Duluth, St. Paul, Rochester, and Bloomington areas, as well as in Hennepin, Ramsey, Dakota, Anoka, and Washington Counties, and all 87 of Minnesota’s other counties.
American Church Group of Minnesota agents provide in-person support for clients in the state, serving nearly 1,000 customers in Minnesota. This face-to-face contact allows their agents to thoroughly understand the uniqueness and needs of each ministry and the individuals that serve there. By meeting with church pastors and administrative staff, they can understand both the property and potential risks they face and the organization’s vision. Our agents in Minnesota provide insurance guidance and a personal connection to your values.
One of these agents is Todd Sauvageau. Living in Apple Valley, Todd and his family are local to Minnesota. Todd understands what unique risks Minnesota organizations experience, such as heavy amounts of snow, wind damage, and how hail can impact a building.
Todd understands Minnesota organizations as a ministry-focused agent and an elder of his church. His eldership and experience working with his church also demonstrate his passion for the faith and understanding of the mission of churches, schools, and faith-based organizations.
“As an agent,” Todd says, “I enjoy the process of meeting with a potential client, learning more about their organization, and exploring the coverages they are comfortable with to insure their risk.”
The Bitner Henry Insurance Group and its member agencies serve over six thousand churches and ministries in Minnesota and across seven other states. This experience with churches helps agents understand how churches’ insurance needs differ from typical businesses. For example, churches may need to insure unique equipment, artifacts, or architecture, such as steeples, stained glass, and audiovisual equipment. They may also need liability insurance for special events, service projects, mission trips, and other activities that may require church-or-nonprofit-focused insurance.
In the event of a loss, churches and nonprofit organizations need someone who can understand their needs and communicate how their insurance coverage can protect them.<br.
The American Church Group of Minnesota understands these needs and can provide comprehensive, valuable coverage, helping to insure the financial risks of churches, nonprofits, and ministries.
