Protect Your People, Property, and Finances with UMIP.

The Only Insurance Company with Direct Ties to

The United Methodist Church.

The United Methodist Insurance Program was born out of the General Conference’s desire to ensure that United Methodist ministries receive adequate coverage – after all, insuring your ministry is good stewardship for the next generation.

Recently, UMIP has expanded our focus to coverage all types of ministries with the Connection. Whether you are a local church, Foundation, a camp, retreat center, or an affiliated ministry – we have coverage solutions for you. What’s more, we provide access to multiple carriers, a broker that has been insuring religious entities for sixty years, and extensive market knowledge and relationships that can benefit your ministry.

Don’t take it from us – read the words of a satisfied United Methodist Pastor!

“When something works really well for busy pastors, is cost effective, and gives peace of mind, I must share. We were able to *quickly* get one comprehensive plan for the church that saves us at least $5,000. I can understand why churches might “set and forget” their insurance coverage, but this was easy and allows us to use more money for God’s mission.” – Rev. Chet Jechura, Good Shepared United Methodist Church, Maryland.

United Methodist Insurance also offers a free monthly newsletter featuring seasonal property checklists, tips on sanitizing your church, understanding property insurance issues, and more!
