As the Anglican Church’s leading UK insurer for over 120 years, we know what people in the clergy need from their home insurance. You can be reassured that our 5 star rating from Defaqto means our home insurance is among the best policies in the market, but we also offer additional benefits for clergy. These reflect the additional risks that you may be exposed to due to your vocation.

up to £15,000 cover for your ministry and business equipment - £5,000 more than our standard contents insurance

Cover is also available for e.g. using your laptop away from home, perhaps in your office at the church (although it may not be left there but taken home with you)
claims for clergy robes, vestments, all other clothing and household linen will not be subject to a deduction for wear and tear
cover for loss or damage during removal, including brittle items, whether or not professional removal contractors carry out the removal
personal belongings includes property owned or used for church business purposes
guests personal belongings cover includes the personal belongings of visitors to the home and the most we will pay for any one claim is increased to £5,000 - £ 2,500 more than our standard contents insurance

cover for secretaries under ‘domestic’ employees cover
theft cover is not restricted to forcible or violent entry or exit whilst the property is used in connection with their occupation, e.g. arrangements for weddings/christenings
