They were chosen for their 60 year history in the church insurance space, their in-depth market knowledge, and their passion for making sure ministries are protected in order to fulfill their mission.

When something works really well for busy pastors, is cost effective, and gives peace of mind, I must share. Working with Sovereign Insurance Group, which is the new partner of the United Methodist Insurance Program, we were able to *quickly* get one comprehensive plan for the church that saves us at least over 5k. I can understand why churches might "set and forget" their insurance coverage because it is a hassle to find new coverage, but this was easy and allows us to use more money for God's mission.

Recently, the United Methodist Insurance Program (UMI) announced an exclusive relationship with Sovereign Insurance Group beginning June 21, 2022. This change is the result of thoughtful and careful evaluation of the direction of UMIP and consideration of brokerage firms that are dedicated to providing insurance services to the church market. Sovereign was selected, in part, based on its strong history of service to the church market, its key alliances with insurers, and its ability to provide superior service to existing and new policyholders. With Sovereign as our partner, UMI will provide assistance to churches so that they may protect their people, property and finances. UMI is dedicated to fulfilling its obligations as set forth in The Book of Discipline of The United Methodist Church.
