What United Insurance Solutions does

United Insurance Solutions, Inc. (UISI) is a faith-based insurance agency incorporated in Missouri and headquartered at 36 Research Park Court, Weldon Spring, MO. It was founded in 2011 under the leadership of UPCI General Superintendent David Bernard, Former General Secretary Jerry Jones, and The Stewardship Group founder Stephen Drury, and operates as a managed entity within The Stewardship Group, a department of the United Pentecostal Church International (UPCI). The company distributes a portfolio of insurance products — group term life, supplemental term life, universal life, AD&D, accident, dental and vision, senior medical (Medicare supplement), critical illness, and property/casualty for churches — exclusively to UPCI-credentialed ministers and their spouses in the United States and Canada. Core product economics revolve around a basic $10,000 group term life policy bundled into UPCI minister licensure dues (underwritten by Securian), which serves as the membership anchor and a low-friction cross-sell platform for higher-value supplemental coverage and partner-administered benefits.

UISI does not underwrite risk itself; it functions as a distribution and member-services agency that routes members to carriers including Securian (term life and basic AD&D), The Hartford (senior medical and voluntary AD&D), MetLife (dental and vision via MyBenefits/BenSelect), Transamerica (post-credential coverage conversion), and Benistar (third-party administrator for senior medical billing and member service). Revenue is generated on a recurring subscription-style basis through insurance premiums and carrier commissions on group and individual policies. GTM motion is community-led: outreach runs through denomination-affiliated communications channels (Stewardship Connect, Stewardship Group newsletters, district networks), supplemented by a website (unitedinsurancesolutions.org) with self-service quote calculator and JotForm enrollment portals, plus direct phone support at (636) 229-7946.

The technology stack is deliberately lean and partnership-led: an internal insurance administration platform for managing group policies, claims processing, and enrollment; a ShinyApps-hosted premium quote calculator; online EOI (Evidence of Insurability) workflows via Securian; and senior-medical enrollment through Benistar. UISI is GLBA-compliant (issuing an annual Privacy Notice), does not disclose revenue, has raised no outside capital, and operates with a four-to-five-person leadership team responsible for all functional areas from brokering to insurance analysis. The addressable market is structurally capped at the UPCI credentialed minister population in the U.S. and Canada, with geographic exclusions (Florida, Washington) and category exclusions (missionaries, Canadian ministers for senior medical).

Direct peers

• GuideStone Financial Resources: Financial services and insurance provider affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention, offering retirement, life, health, and disability coverage to ministers and church workers. Operates as a denomination-specific benefits platform highly analogous to UISI's UPCI model.
• AG Financial Solutions: Financial services arm of the Assemblies of God denomination, providing insurance, retirement, and lending products to AG ministers and churches. A directly analogous denomination-affiliated insurance and benefits distributor serving Pentecostal-adjacent clergy.
• Church Mutual Insurance Company: Specialty insurer for churches, synagogues, and religious organizations, offering property, liability, and ancillary coverages. Direct competitor in the religious-affinity insurance distribution space with similar group-serving economics.
• GuideOne Insurance: Faith-based insurance carrier serving churches, schools, and Christian-related organizations. Comparable mission-driven niche positioning, similar product lines (P&C, auto, workers' comp), and similar reliance on denominational/affinity channels.
• Brotherhood Mutual Insurance Company: Insurance carrier and agency focused on Christian churches, ministries, and faith-based organizations across the U.S. Highly comparable to UISI as a faith-affiliated distributor of multi-line coverage (property, liability, life, disability) to a captive religious community.

Broad incumbents

• Philadelphia Insurance Companies (PHLY): Specialty commercial carrier with a strong niche in religious and nonprofit organization coverage including churches and schools. Comparable in product scope and affinity-organization distribution, but operates as a broad specialty insurer rather than a denomination-specific agency.

Emerging players

• Ministerial Search and Benefits Affiliates (e.g., Church & Clergy Insurance Associates): Specialty brokerage focused exclusively on clergy and church-worker insurance needs. Comparable in target market and broker-style distribution, though less denominationally exclusive than UISI.

Others

• National Association of Church Business Administration (NACBA) affiliated programs: Professional association that connects churches with vetted insurance and benefits providers. Comparable in serving the same church/minister ecosystem and acting as an aggregation layer for affinity-based insurance distribution.
