Missionary Insurance and Risk Management Services.

As you bring the good news to the world, you also bring liability. Our tailored insurance solutions safeguard missionaries and mission sending organizations so they can travel and serve without worry. 

Your mission is one of a kind. Your insurance policy should be too.

Whether it’s insurance for international missions or coverage for large gatherings abroad—your mission organization faces unique challenges.

At ChurchWest, we specialize in property and liability coverage designed specifically for mission sending organizations. Our mission is to empower missionaries and their support teams to focus on serving, rather than worrying about potential risks.

Our team delivers comprehensive insurance solutions in key areas:

  • Property
  • Liability
  • Commercial Auto
  • Workers’ Compensation
  • Employee Benefits

With us, you’re more than a client; you’re part of our community. We provide expert, personalized guidance to navigate the complexities of risk management for your mission.

Because at ChurchWest, our ministry is serving your ministry.
