About The Insurance Board

The Insurance Board is a nonprofit corporation established by the participating Conferences of the United Church of Christ. We administer a property and liability insurance program serving churches and related entities within three denominations: United Church of Christ, Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), and Presbyterian Church (USA). The coverages are unsurpassed in the marketplace and the IB is considered a model not-for-profit entity.

We write property and liability coverage in all 50 states utilizing an Independent Property and Casualty Distribution System that is unique and in tune with our mission: to support and protect churches and church ministries by offering superior property and casualty risk and insurance management services. In Michigan, 77 congregations, camps, and related ministries participate in the Insurance Board program.

More than 3600 churches participate in the program nationwide representing greater than $9.6 billion dollars in property value. A board of 20 directors governs the IB. The Board is comprised of United Church of Christ Conference Ministers, Disciples of Christ Regional Ministers, and Presbyterian Church Executives, and lay leaders with experience relevant to our mission. We are proud to be represented by this highly qualified group of church and lay leaders.

We are ready to assist you in any way. We are never more than a phone call away. Our goal is to provide resources that protect our churches’ two most valued assets: people and property. In Michigan, the number to call is 269-441-5157 or email us at mlambert@allenharmon.com.
