Church Leaders: Insurance, Legal and Supplies

Church insurance companies, legal contacts, and links to order supplies from Sam's Club, Walmart, Costco, Target, Amazon and Temu.

Church insurance

These five companies and agencies are well known for insuring churches. They are listed to help you start, not to rank or endorse them. Coverage, price and service differ by state and by congregation. Ask your elders or trustees to get at least three quotes, and to ask about property, general liability, abuse and molestation coverage, workers’ compensation, vehicles (including church vans) and directors’ and officers’ coverage.

Church legal contacts

These five organizations work on church and religious-freedom matters. They are not all law firms that take every case, and none of this is legal advice. For a local matter, such as a property deed, a contract, an employment question or a disagreement, ask your state bar’s lawyer referral service for an attorney licensed in your state who handles church and nonprofit law.

Order what your church needs

Choose an item and a store. Each link opens that store’s own search page for the item. These are plain links: this site earns no money from them, and you buy directly from the store. Compare prices and read reviews first. Ask whether your church can use a tax-exempt account where one is offered.
