ACS ISEE Church Testimonial

On 13th January 2011, major flooding occurred throughout most of the Brisbane River catchment and in Brisbane, the state capital of Queensland, Australia.
It was the second highest flood since the beginning of the 20th Century, forcing the evacuation of thousands of people from towns and cities.
At least 90 towns and over 200,000 people were affected, with 33 deaths attributed to the flooding.
The damage was estimated at $2.38 billion, with some 56,200 claims received by insurers with payouts totalling $2.55 billion.
iSee Church’s New Farm campus on the edge of the Brisbane River experienced over a metre of water flowing through the premises, forcing the church to close the facilities and seek temporary alternative venues for their regular church services and activities. Pastor Nathan Terril knew the church was in good hands with its insurance through ACS Financial. “Our first call was to the team at ACS and their advice and confidence and support right at that very early stage was outstanding.”
For the purposes of insurance in Australia, riverine flooding is defined as ‘the overflow from rivers and creeks following long duration rainfall over large catchment areas, or water rising up from flooding rivers, in contrast to water coming down from rain and storm.’ While some insurers offer cover for riverine flood, many currently do not, something that many policy holders discovered only after the January 2011 floods.
Following a natural disaster, the insurance industry plays a vital role in funding the rebuilding, repair or replacement of damaged homes, infrastructure and assets. But having the right insurance provider is essential, especially for churches.
Together with ACS Financial, iSee Church was able to have all their needs met, see their property restored, and flourish in the face of one of the worst flooding events in the history of the nation.
“ACS Financial know churches, they know church life and our world, they were able to give us what we needed to know and tell us things we might not have considered yet.
Throughout the entire process we had ACS’s support,” says Pastor Nathan.
