Property and Liability Information

As part of the renewal process, our insurance agent, Engle, Hambright, and Davies (EHD), obtained quotes from several insurance companies with an objective to maintain existing coverage limits and lower premiums. 

After careful review of the competitive landscape, The EPA Board of Trustees has approved a change.  Effective, July 1, 2011, the primary insurance carrier for the Property & Liability program for EPA has changed from Philadelphia Insurance Company to Church Mutual Insurance Company.  We were able to keep existing coverage limits and reduce total premiums by $395 thousand, a 12% reduction.  We will be passing on these savings to all churches in the coming months.

Church Mutual’s mission is to focus on serving faith-based organizations, including places of worship, schools, senior living facilities, denomination and association offices and other religious ministries. The company holds an “A (Excellent)” rating, with a “stable outlook,” from A.M. Best Company. The rating reflects a strong capitalization, and a prominent position in the religious institutional marketplace.

Philadelphia Insurance will continue to provide the directors and officers insurance and coverage for our camps. Church Mutual will provide the package for property, liability, automobile, and umbrella liability.  The workers compensation carrier, Eastern Alliance, remains unchanged.

If you have an automobile, a new card will be issued. If you are due for a boiler inspection, please call our insurance agent, EHD at             610-280-0410       and ask for Margie Follette or Jim Lewis.
