Brotherhood Mutual provides high-quality insurance protection and risk management services and works exclusively with churches and related ministries.

When churches practice good risk management, they provide a safer place for their members to worship, resulting in few losses. When that happens, Brotherhood Mutual gives our denominational office a Safe Ministry Reward payment. The ministry partner program does not affect insurance premiums, but it does help our denomination when member churches and ministries manage their risks well.

You can find more information about Brotherhood Mutual and the many risk management services that the company offers at www.brotherhoodmutual.com.

Our calling is helping churches through transformational change toward renewal and revitalization. The ministry also provides coaching, teaching, and consulting services designed to help the local church carry ministry within each unique ministry context.  Specialty experience with preschool; grade schools; daycare; staffing; church governance; ethnic outreach; succession planning; facility issues; relocation; international missions; postmodern outreach; young adult discipleship; adult discipleship; “marketing” and “branding” identity issues; social media; social networking; leadership training; Christian schools; renewal and awakening dynamics; missional training; spiritual health development; worship issues; and internal communication.

Influenced by work with churches and networks of churches on seven continents for almost four decades. Built around Jesus’ “affirm and build” approach in John 5:19: focusing on what God is blessing. Treating each church as uniquely distinctive, avoiding a “one size fits all” approach,this ministry hasbeen named twice by independent analysts as the best of its kind. In 30 plus years of ministry, Church Doctor Ministries has helped over 1,600 churches.
