I am a pastor of a church in Scotland and went to this insurer because of its church/ Christian connection. They would not give me insurance because I have a criminal conviction from when I was a teenager. I just replied this to them: “Thank you for your reply, for which I am grateful. However, I must admit it is very disappointing that a company which for years would have made a fortune out of church work and church workers will not entertain a church-worker (me) because of my past.

I’ve been with ecclesiastical for a few years. Their advisers are always friendly and helpful.

    Great Value Home Insurance from a not-for-profit company

    Working from home, I've found it difficult to find appropriate home insurance. Ecclesiastical understood my circumstances and have provided excellent cover at a reasonable cost.

    Listen and Understand

    Ecclesiastical were very good at listening to the particular circumstances around our new home and making sure we got a policy that would cover us sufficiently.
