(Cleveland, Ohio - 3/6/2008) – “I am happy to report that 2007 was a pivotal year financially for the United Church of Christ Insurance Board (UCCIB). The September, 2007 audited financial statements show a clean, unqualified opinion and that unrestricted net equity increased by $720,000 during the fiscal year,” stated Cathy Green, CEO and president of the IB. In her report to the conference ministers at the annual meeting in New Mexico on February 25, Green identified 2007 as a year of regained solid financial stability for the provider of insurance, liability and risk management solutions to Disciples of Christ and UCC churches throughout the United States.

Featured Tip

Planning a Mission Trip?

The activities of church volunteers while on a mission trip could result in civil liability for injuries to persons or damage to property. Examples would include accidental injury to another person or damage to a dwelling while performing a construction activity. Under the UCCIB program, volunteers generally are included as insureds under the General Liability Section of the Church Package policy. The insurance of the organization that supervises the activity generally responds to a claim. Gray areas for whose coverage applies are of less concern when all the entities are participants in the UCCIB program – your church, the Conference of the UCC or Region of the Disciples of Christ (Christian Church), and the host church.
