Our History

Damasca Insurance has been working with churches for over fifty years. The agency’s purpose was envisioned and developed by Sam Maxwell in the late 1940’s who turned the agency into the largest church insurance agent in Jacksonville. The mantle was passed in 2004 when the assets of the agency were sold to Kenston Powell.

The agency continued to operate as The Maxwell Agency until 2007 when, in an effort to clarify the purpose and focus of the agency, the non-ministry portion of the agency was sold and the name was changed to Damasca Insurance.

A lot has changed over the last half-century: people, names, location, and technology. However, one thing has remained consistent over the lifetime of this agency, the sense of purpose. God’s role for the agency has always been obvious and, with his blessings, we will continue to make an impact in local ministries for the next fifty years.
