Introducing the Texas Baptists Indemnity Program (TBIP)

Helping churches to secure affordable, comprehensive insurance and manage risks to continue effective ministry.

We’re currently working through state approval, with hopes to open applications in July 2025. In our initial phase, BGCT churches that give—or commit to give—at least 1% of their undesignated receipts to the Texas Baptists Cooperative Program will be eligible to apply.

What Will TBIP Cover?

We’re working to offer comprehensive, ministry-focused coverage including:

  • Property Insurance – for your facilities and contents
  • General Liability – to protect against third-party claims
  • Pastoral & Professional Liability – to support your ministers
  • Directors & Officers Liability – to protect church leadership
  • Sexual Abuse Coverage – to help prevent and respond appropriately
  • Cyber Liability – to guard against data breaches and online threats
  • Auto Insurance – for church-owned vehicles
  • Workers’ Compensation – for staff protection
