One of the most common problem churches face with their insurance program is carrying the proper limits of property coverage. Buildings and contents need to be insured to their proper replacement cost, not their market value. Maintaining proper valuations on these items is critical. If not properly insured, the church could be responsible for paying a large portion of a loss. Determining the proper limits requires an expertise in church architecture and construction.
