Our Story

• Mid-State Insurance

The Mid-State Group offers a full spectrum of professional services, including insurance, risk management, human resource, safety, wellness, finance and education. Our cornerstone approach is Mid-State GPS(SM), a unique custom process based on the prestigious Beyond Insurance® risk management system. We help you discover ironclad solutions to protect and preserve the prosperity of you, your family and your business. We value and nurture personal education and professional development through the Mid-State Academy. The Academy offers enriching seminars, leadership training, newsletters, and resource libraries. Our core values drive our philosophy of service. The Mid-State Group believes strongly in universal principles of Belief in People, Empowerment, Stewardship, Integrity, Purpose and Passion. These values resonate with our employees, vendors, clients and communities as we strive for exceptional performance and service. Mission

The mission of the Mid-State Group is to serve our clients, employees, vendors, and community by educating and developing strategies that exceed beyond insurance and position them for growth. When our partners succeed, we succeed! Core Values

Belief In People
We are relentlessly optimistic about the power of human potential. We believe that each individual—be it a client, employee or vendor—is intrinsically valuable. Each person, each relationship offers distinctive opportunities to learn, prosper, teach or serve. Empowerment
Mid-State serves a higher purpose to empower others. Guided by a “servant’s heart” we promote a philosophy of H.O.P.E (Helping Other People Excel). With a strong belief in people as our foundation, we recognize that each person possesses special talents and strengths. We foster a positive environment where each person can discover, improve and express their gifts to enhance the lives of their families, coworkers, vendors and community. Stewardship
Extraordinary stewardship of valuable resources is the essence of Mid-State’s code of responsibility. We seek deep understanding to wisely shepherd the precious assets we are entrusted with to carefully manage, develop, protect and preserve. We marshal our collective strengths to serve; we strive to unleash creativity and innovation to unveil the “acres of diamonds” in each individual and organization. Integrity
Uncompromising integrity is our guiding light. We pledge to be straightforward, credible, and honest in all of our business practices and relationships. We earn trust by responsiveness and reliability. We earn credibility by keeping promises. Purpose
Without purpose, without a compass or a map, we wander aimlessly adrift. Our team approach emphasizes working together to achieve common goals. Shared focus on clear objectives ensures success. It is our purpose that gives us Passion! Passion
Passion fuels purpose, stewardship, integrity and belief. Passion is enthusiasm and excitement; passion is energy and fervor. We harness and deliver passion as a key ingredient to every action or service. www.themidstategroup.com

What a weekend at AACC!

We truly enjoyed meeting so many counselors, group practices, and ministry leaders and hearing more about the work you’re doing every day.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by the Mid-State booth, asked questions, shared your story, or simply came by to say hello.

If we can ever be a resource for your professional liability coverage needs, we’d be glad to connect and help make the process a little simpler.

Until next time, AACC!

Last night, our President and Chief Growth Officer, John Basten, had the opportunity to share his testimony and the powerful impact counseling has had on his life and his family. His story is a reminder of the incredible, faith-filled work counselors and ministries do every day, and why we’re so passionate about helping protect the people and organizations that help change lives.

Your calling is to help change lives. Ours is to help protect the work behind it. American Association of Christian Counselors
