Churches are not exempt

A previous post discussed the need for churches to have a personal property inventory. Unfortunately, they are not exempt from disasters.

Think about the number of churches that suffered loss during the hurricanes. When a tornado touches down, it won't skip a church just because it's a church. How many experience flooding due to heavy rains, a broken water heater, sewer backup? We see frequent reports of fires that totally destroy a church building. Thefts are on the rise, and once again churches are not exempt from that, either. Many churches today have a huge collection of furniture, musical instruments and audio equipment, computers and printers.

Does your church have this documentation in written format and photographs? I'm guessing not, and that's because you don't have anyone who will/can do this. We know someone who does!
