WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING

June 26, 2009

CORNERSTONE CHURCH (AMES, IA):

Titus Insurance Group, Inc. recently partnered with Cornerstone Church in Ames, IA. Based on her experience with the Titus Insurance Group, Karen Kovach (pastoral assistant) had the following to say:

“I have served as the office manager for Cornerstone Church of Ames for 10 years. In that time we have grown from a congregation of 600 to over 2,000 and have had three insurance providers prior to the Titus Insurance Group. As we explored our insurance needs together, they were forthright, clear and informative. Titus went above and beyond their normal responsibilities to help us resolve an issue with a previous agent. They know their stuff! As agents for a couple of different good insurance options for churches, we feel like they operate as part of our staff team. We highly recommend them!”

VINEYARD CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP (OAK PARK, IL)

Nathan Beauchamp had worked as an Underwriter and an Account Executive for a Wall Street investment bank handling mortgage backed securities and other investment products for over four years. After sensing God’s call for him to serve in the local church, God directed him to serve as the Office Manager at Vineyard Oak Park where he is integrally involved with strategic planning, maintaining financial excellence, and overseeing logistics and facilities. His wife, Heidi, works for one of the largest commercial insurers in the world.

Concerning the challenges he faces in his current role Mr. Beauchamp states, “Churches in general are called to excellence. Its part of what Christ meant when he said we should be ‘salt and light’ to the world. My primary challenge is helping our church achieve excellence not just in our ministries and Sunday services, but excellence in finances, accounting, logistics, and all the day-to-day business of being a church. That means ensuring we have financial controls in place that protect the church and our congregation.”

Titus Insurance Group (TIG) met with Mr. Beauchamp, toured their facilities and evaluated their current insurance coverage and risk management policies, making appropriate recommendations that would maximize protection while minimizing expense. After this thorough assessment, TIG was able to provide a detailed policy quote that was accepted by the church.

On his experience with working with Titus Insurance Group, Mr. Beauchamp says, “It is always refreshing to work with a company that exceeds expectations. Both our account manager and our sales representatives from Titus have been extremely helpful in selecting insurance products that properly insure our church. I’ve found their level of service to be excellent, and have enjoyed getting to know each of them. I was impressed with the detail of their presentation, as well as their follow up on questions that I had. My wife Heidi was also impressed with the materials provided by Titus and Grinnell. We would both recommend Titus to other churches and businesses with no reservations.”

Although not endorsed by the Willow Creek Association, TIG has helped create an insurance product that considers the unique needs of these outreach-based churches and their specialty programs.
