Church Insurance Crisis: Can Louisiana Find Shelter from the Storm?

Frequent hurricanes in our area are making it difficult for churches to afford skyrocketing insurance premiums. Some policies are being canceled altogether.

The Foundation and the Louisiana Annual Conference held a webinar in October to explore the future of church property insurance in Louisiana and answer questions from church leaders. Reports of churches within our conference facing policy cancellations and escalating premiums prompted the webinar.

The webinar featured Jeff Albright, CEO of the Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of La., joined by Foundation president Chris Spencer and Rev. Dr. Van Stinson, assistant to the bishop in the Louisiana Annual Conference. They recognized the need and offered potential strategies to address the challenges.
