About Us
We Are Insurance Providers for Very Special Clients
Hands down, the most important priority is to have a church specific policy. Only this type of policy will cover the many unique risks only a church faces. A standard policy will simply not cover many of the exposures.
The second most important item would be to have a local agent that can personally survey your risks and be there for you in a time of need.
Beacon has been blessed as an insurance provider and we feel that blessing is a result of our mission to serve those who serve Christ and our community. We are honored to have partnerships with the best financial carriers and have a team of dedicated, talented underwriters. Our clients are our greatest blessing, and our retention rate is over 98 percent with continued growth. We only represent strong financial carriers with an A rating or better from AM Best.
