EMPLOYEE BENEFITS & INSURANCE
The ACNA Provincial Office and Executive Committee are making important updates to how health and ancillary benefits are offered. After careful review and in light of low participation and rising costs, the Province will conclude its health (medical, dental, vision) and ancillary benefit programs (life, disability, etc.) on December 31, 2025. This change creates an opportunity for churches and dioceses to explore more affordable, localized solutions that better fit their needs. (Note that the Voya retirement plan will remain unchanged and continues to be a strong, cost-effective offering with wide participation across the Province.)
-
Brotherhood Mutual is our preferred ministry partner for property and liability insurance, and its subsidiary, Brotherhood Works Insurance Services, LLC is our preferred ministry partner for health and ancillary insurance solutions going forward.
-
Churches and dioceses can connect with Brotherhood Mutual brokers directly to develop options specifically designed for our churches and dioceses by filling out the form below.

Benefits specialists from Brotherhood Works and Lightwell Insurance Advisors will be able to provide insurance quotes beginning on September 1, 2025, for the 2026 calendar year.
- Churches wishing to continue coverage for ancillary benefits (life/disability) can do so directly with Frost/OneAmerica with no new evidence of insurability required if they meet certain conditions. Rates will be based on updated census data. Contact Nicole Miller, Senior Account Manager of Employee Benefits, at 512-789-2287 or Nicole.Miller@oneamerica.com. Additional options are available through Brotherhood Mutual.
