Why is the Insurance Centre your Broker of Choice?

Maybe a better question would be: "What factors should a church board consider in selecting their insurance broker/insurance carrier?"

When it comes to the broker, the following apply ...

  • He/She must be knowledgeable in his field
  • He/She must understand the needs of a church and how they function
  • The broker must be committed to continuing service
  • He/She must have enough "clout" with his insurance carriers, to negotiate a fair competitive rate

From the insurer one should expect ...

  • Sound financial stability
  • Long term commitment to church coverages, and intimate knowledge of church's insurance needs
  • Fair claims treatment
  • Stable competitive rates

The Insurance Centre specializes in church insurance coverages. Its management consists of committed Christians, who try to walk the walk rather than talk the talk. Peter Vogelzang has served on various church boards of his local church, as well as serving on its building committee. The firm is dedicated to professionalism. Of its approximate thirty five associates, twenty are licensed brokers, of which fifteen carry the CAIB designation five the AIIC, and one the CIB degrees. It periodically publishes the "Insurance Review", a news letter dealing with insurance issues from a Christian perspective.

One of its main carriers is the Ecclesiastical Insurance Office. It has been the church insurance provider of choice since 1887 for more than 8000 Canadian churches. Some of the main features of their plans are ...

  • preferred rates for Evangelical Churches
  • very broad coverages provided on a blanket basis for buildings as well as contents
  • sexual abuse and church counselling liability benefits
  • directors and officers liability benefits

Through experience we have learned that church insurers come and go. In their wake, they often leave major messes. For instance, sexual abuse may, unknown to a church board, take place over a number of years. When it finally is discovered, it can become a major problem to determine which insurance carrier is liable, if the church has been insured by various insurers over the years; not to mention if all the policies continuously provide for the proper coverages.

Hence selecting a broker and an insurance carrier is a decision not to be entered into lightly. The Insurance Centre Inc. has been committed to church coverages for the last twenty five years. It will gladly work with your local broker, if this is a concern. We would deem it a privilege to extend our services to your church. For a no obligation quote simply contact The Insurance Centre by phone (613.544.5313) or email us.
