OCA Group Program

A SPECIALIZED PROGRAM DESIGNED FOR OCA CHURCHES & INSTITUTIONS

Group Affiliated Program

GuideOne Insurance and Insurance Systems insures the Orthodox Church in America (OCA) in Syosset, NY. In May of 2006, the OCA agreed to formally initiate a Group Affiliated Program for the benefit of its participating churches. As such, participating churches have the ability to receive special benefits not available anywhere else. In addition, the GAP Program offers the GAP Rewards which offers a Loss Control Bonus for Group profitability. 

In addition to being one of the most comprehensive insurance packages around, the Group Affiliated Program offers the following benefits to churches insured under the plan:

  • A property coverage enhancement for each participating policyholder providing an additional 25% of their total building and contents amount of insurance, up to $1 million maximum, to use in case of an insured property loss. This comes at no additional cost to the parish;

  • Insurance Systems will be able to tailor an insurance plan to meet the needs of each individual church;

  • Each participating church will have the flexibility in determining their own coverage and limits;

  • Each church will receive their own policy; and

  • Each participating church will be billed individually.

GAP Rewards

Building on our Group Affiliated Program for churches, GuideOne Insurance and Insurance Systems has designed a program that provides benefits above and beyond our broad and comprehensive property and casualty insurance policy. 

As one of the leading insurers of churches in the country, GuideOne offers the OCA GAP Rewards Program which provides a Loss Control Bonus for reduced claims and losses within the Group.  

Since its inception, the OCA GAP Rewards has earned Loss Control Bonuses totalling more than $165,000.
