What others say about working with us.

I recently submitted a claim for lightning damage to our church. My contact was very knowledgeable, extremely helpful and a great customer service individual. She has changed my opinion of insurance companies completely. There are so many insurance companies that could take lessons from Church Mutual.

Ron Holcomb

La Grange First United Methodist Church

Twenty years ago, when we first founded Cedar Rapids Zen Center (we're a Buddhist Temple), Church Mutual was about the only company that would insure an organization so small and new as we were. I'd recommend Church Mutual to any religious organization needing insurance of any kind.

Zuiko Redding

Cedar Rapids Zen Center

For over 20 years, we have been with Church Mutual. We left for a few years to save on premium but returned for the excellent customer service and overall value.
