insurance

Many of you carry liability insurance, but for those of you who don't, we suggest a policy that includes riders to cover sexual abuse and other emotional traumas. By all means, shop around and choose whatever company best suits your needs. If you need a place to start, a number of Vineyard churches in the region use Brotherhood Mutual. If you'd like more information, please contact the regional office.
