Dear Ministry Partner,

This past year has presented challenges for the church and the Souther Baptist Convention (SBC). As we look to what we have learned from the SBC, we see the need to create church safeguards related to Abuse. The Baptist Resource Network (BRN) encourages your church to evaluate its ministry insurance coverage including what its coverage is for Sexual Acts. As we live in an ever-changing cultural world, we encourage an evaluation of the church’s ministry insurance coverage. Brotherhood Mutual is the preferred church insurance provider of the BRN and the SBC and works exclusively with Christian ministries. I encourage your church to analyze your insurance coverage.
