    Faithful Stewardship Means Providing Health Insurance for Church Staff

    A small, energetic church in Lubbock found itself facing a problem that felt bigger than its budget. Tim, the elder responsible for finances, knew their pastor and two staff members were carrying the weight of rising medical costs with no safety net. The church wanted to care for them, but every option Tim explored came with price tags that simply didn’t fit. Traditional group health insurance felt completely out of reach. With ministry needs growing, the question that kept him up at night was simple: How do we protect the people who faithfully protect this ministry?

    Tim’s struggle isn’t rare. All across Texas, churches that pour everything into serving their communities are confronting the same healthcare dilemma. They want to provide meaningful benefits but can’t absorb the soaring premiums of traditional plans. This week on the podcast, we explored practical, realistic solutions for Texas churches.  From catastrophic health coverage to self-funded options and creative benefit structures, churches have options when it comes to providing health insurance for their staff. These plans are designed to help churches like Tim’s support their staff without jeopardizing the ministry’s financial health.
