Testimonials
“I can say without reservation, most churches have insurance, but are not properly insured. Eight percent have business policies. Having no insurance knowledge, we as churches are under insured or overly insured. Terry is knowledgable. Help your church or ministry. Call him to schedule an appointment, let him review what you currently have. You will be glad you did! We have special needs, just do it!”
– Pastor Charles R Jackson, African Methodist Episcopal Church
“Terry Brown is like no other insurance agent, he looks out for your best interest and goes above and beyond in service. When I have a claim to submit, he’s willing to process it on my behalf. Terry has even helped on another agent’s case when we needed someone to get us some answers. It’s been a pleasure working with Terry over the years, he makes my job a lot easier.”
– Trish Santos, Southeastern District of the C&MA
“Our church was able to save over $1,000 a year by switching (with Terry Brown).”
– Chip Nightingale, Corner Bible Church
