Little about 2020 has gone as expected. We’ve altered plans, adjusted to new protocols, and felt uncertain about the future. We’ve experienced disappointment and loss—weddings cancelled, jobs lost, and even the passing of loved ones. It’s been a challenging year.
But throughout this period of unrest, God has been faithful, as God always…
At Mutual Aid Agency, our mission is to do good. We believe that the world can sometimes feel full of problems, but that we can make a real, positive difference when we work and serve together.

Unless you're a pastor, church administrator, or ministerial leader, you've probably never thought about church insurance—you may not even know it existed. And yet, church insurance is quietly present in many of our lives, protecting our places of worship.

In honor of Pastor Appreciation Month, we at Mutual Aid Agency wanted to take a moment to thank the pastors, reverends, ministers, priests, and other faith leaders who have made such a difference in our lives.

What is it, and how does it work? Mutual Aid Agency’s mission and vision are what set us apart from other agencies: we are committed to working together to do good so that all may benefit. Our role in the Ministry Partner Program is one of the many unique ways in which we fulfill that mission.

Peacefully
For Brethren, living peacefully means so much more than living a life of tranquility or isolation. It…
2020 is a landmark year for Mutual Aid Agency, marking our 135th anniversary. In light of such a significant milestone, we’d like to take a look back—and a look forward—at MAA through the years.
