About Moyer & DesCombes

Insurance Agency

Our Company

Moyer & DesCombes Insurance specializes in providing churches and nonprofit organizations with an array of services while helping them be the best stewards of their insurance dollars. Our team has extensive knowledge of both church and commercial insurance, as evident by the large number of clients in both areas. We serve churches, religious headquarters, schools, and seminaries of all sizes and varying denominations.

With a strong devotion to faith and the church, Moyer & DesCombes specializes in risk management based on the principle: It’s better to prepare and prevent than repair and repent. We have this emphasis on risk management because we want to help brace our customers for the unknown, allowing churches and businesses to be educated and prepared.

Our expertise is strengthened through our relationships with insurers recognized as leaders in the industry. These leaders serve areas such as: life, church, worker’s compensation and risk management. We are committed to providing our customers with insight, advice, customized coverages, and lasting relationships.

Our Story

Moyer & DesCombes Insurance was founded in 1991 by co-owners B.J. and Becky Moyer. With a passion for helping churches and protecting people’s assets, the duo now has 30+ years of experience and a distinguished reputation.

Our team is continually growing and diversifying our product portfolio as the needs of our expanding customer base continues evolving. In order to provide the finest care to our customers, we believe that dividing and conquering is the most efficient strategy. Each of our team members have different specialties in order to provide our customers with consistency and first-rate outcomes. We’re proud of the fact that every staff member of the Moyer & DesCombes team is licensed and knowledgeable. B.J. and Becky Moyer early on established our vision and core values of integrity and professionalism in meeting or exceeding customers’ expectations. This commitment has allowed us to build long-standing relationships with our valued customers.

We don’t think of each other as simply work colleagues, we are a family. We spend a great deal of time together in and outside of “business hours,” and believe this dynamic adds to the success of our tight-knit agency.
