About Us

    Our History

    Lighthouse Group was established in 1995 with the merger of the Lighthouse Group Insurance Agency (founded in 1990) and Keuning Agency (founded in 1960). Through organic growth and acquisitions, our organization evolved into a noteworthy Michigan-based employer serving over 33,000 clients. Our locations across the state allow us to remain relationship focused and community oriented.

    On December 1, 2020, we merged with the nation’s 17th largest agency, Alera Group. This partnership has brought the capabilities and resources of a national firm while allowing us to maintain the local service our clients have come to know and love.

    5 P&C Insurance Tips for Public Sector Entities

    Public sector entities — including counties, cities, town villages, local law enforcement and special service districts — offer vital services to our communities.
