The Real Risk Isn’t Just During Worship

What Happens After an Incident Can Shake a Ministry

Even in the most caring environments, incidents can place a church and its leaders under intense scrutiny. Pastors, staff, or volunteers may face investigations, lawsuits, or personal liability, even when acting responsibly to protect others. One moment at church can lead to months of legal battles, financial strain, and damage to a ministry’s reputation.

  • Concerned about lawsuits or liability if a volunteer steps in during an emergency?

  • Unsure whether insurance or denominational coverage will fully handle legal costs?

  • Worried about personal exposure as a pastor, elder, or safety team member?

Legal preparation matters when your mission and ministry are on the line

Thankfully, I have not had a self-defense situation where I have required the services. I do have the peace of mind of knowing that I have that support. the informative classes for different situations have been very helpful for increasing my knowledge and preparedness, I try to never miss those. I recently joined the Assurance team at my church. I immediately called Right To Bear to see if I needed to have any additional coverage, being able to contact them and get information immediately was a great comfort.

Questions Churches Ask Before Joining

Does this cover both staff and volunteers?

Yes. Coverage can extend to pastors, elders, staff, and designated safety team members, subject to plan terms.

Don’t we already have insurance?

Insurance rarely covers criminal defense and often excludes volunteer or off-duty scenarios. Right To Bear fills those gaps.

Does coverage apply beyond Sunday services?

Yes. Coverage applies during church services, events, and ministry activities. And because protection shouldn’t stop at the church doors, it also extends to lawful self-defense incidents in a security team member’s personal life, subject to plan terms and applicable law.

Can we add family coverage?
Yes. Options are available to extend protection to family members.
When does coverage begin?

Immediately. Protection starts as soon as membership is approved.
