Ministry Works

What Ministry Works does

Ministry Works is a service line of Brotherhood Mutual Insurance Company, an Indiana-domiciled private insurance carrier indirectly wholly owned by Brotherhood Mutual Holding Company. Founded in 2010 and headquartered in Fort Wayne, Indiana, the company delivers payroll, HR, employee benefits administration, workers' compensation, background screening, mission travel coverage, and accident insurance bundled into an integrated suite marketed under the Brotherhood Works brand. Its exclusive customer base consists of Christian churches, ministries, and faith-based nonprofit organizations in the United States, with no international distribution footprint disclosed.

The core offering is a platform-plus-modules architecture in which the Brotherhood Works platform is complemented by add-on modules for Payroll & HR, Background Screening, Employee Benefits, Workers' Compensation, Missions Care, and Accident Insurance, alongside standalone insurance products (Property & Liability, Auto, Mission Protection) and supplementary resources (Safety Library, Online Training, Legal Assist, Trusted Providers, Weather Alerts). The underlying technology stack is not publicly disclosed; the platform is delivered via direct website and phone sales (800-333-3735), with existing customers accessing services through dedicated customer login portals on the Brotherhood Mutual website.

Ministry Works generates revenue through insurance premiums for workers' compensation, accident, and mission protection policies, supplemented by subscription-based fees for payroll, HR, and benefits administration services. Pricing is quote-based and customized per ministry organization based on size, risk profile, and selected coverage options, with monthly billing cadence. The go-to-market motion is sales-led, leveraging Brotherhood Mutual's established direct sales force, a Trusted Providers referral network, content marketing through the Safety Library, and active social media presence. Revenue figures, headcount trends, and growth indicators are not disclosed in available source materials.
