United Church of Canada
Congregate with confidence.
A church is more than simply a place of worship. Often a vital community centre, its doors are open to the public for recreational activities, classes and meetings, celebrations and concerts. While good faith that property will be respected and visitors safe is a given, insurance of community events provides added security.
Get coverage for your next event at a United Church in less than five minutes — with proof of insurance downloadable immediately.
