    That is a great question! I know that there are several companies out there that practice Christian values and standards of good stewardship, (mine included) and use those values and biblical lessons when teaching their clients. I'm a little leery however, when companies profess to market specifically for one segment of the population, and here's why. First and foremost is our commission to "go forth and make disciples". If I'm only working with "saved Christians", how can I be fulfilling Christ's command? Secondly, I'm always a little skeptical of the motives of companies that separate out folks to market to based on religion. What makes the money of one religion any different than another's? Or the needs of those people? And aren't we asked as Christians to help everyone as we'd like to be helped? Those "Christian" companies that only serve the needs of other "Christians" then seem to me to be doing exactly opposite of what our Lord has asked us to do.
    I'm sure that there are many good companies in your area that can assist you very capably, perhaps your Pastor or Priest can direct you to one in the Church you attend. Thanks for asking!

    Insurance companies will try to se ment the market to gain a market advantage. It is quite possible that companies exist that claim to deal only with Christians. I doubt that many state insurance commissioners would allow them to deny services to a “non-Christian” on the basis of religion but that doesn’t mean that the company concerned might not advertise where Christians congregate.
