Church fellowship connect

Insurance for churches meeting in hired or rented premises.

Key features

Church fellowship connect is insurance specially designed for churches that meet in hired, rented or loaned premises and takes into account the wide range of activities which they are involved in.

Churches provide a wide range of support for the communities in which they operate. We can meet the insurance needs of your church for the following activities:

  • Meetings and services
  • Young people’s work (including any church-run after-school care, nursery school, playgroup or youth group)
  • Community work (including domestic work and domestic gardening)
  • Selling religious and other items from your premises for the benefit of your church funds
  • Office and administration work and storing your property

There are many other activities which present a higher risk of injury or damage so we will expect you to tell us about these and then we will confirm if they can be insured or not. Please see our product brochure for detailed examples of activities you should tell us about.

  • We specialise in insuring the third sector.
  • Every three years we run our donation programme which invites applications from charities involved in promoting healthy lifestyles to children and young adults. Money is then donated to the winning three charities to help them run their specific programmes.
  • We pride ourselves on offering an excellent personal service and a fast and sympathetic response to claims.
  • Not only do we insure the third sector, we also have our own Community Hub, within our offices. This is a flexible space for local charities to meet, network and host their own events - for free. This is one small way we are giving back to the sector.
