Home » About Our Agency

We bring a Christ-centered, client-first approach to everything we do. Whether you operate a growing business, manage a team, or protect your family’s future, our commitment is the same: to serve you with integrity, clarity, and advocacy. As an independent firm, our loyalty is not to insurance carriers — it is to you.

Built on Legacy. Strengthened by Purpose.

Founded in 1976, our agency has long been known in the community for personal service and principled leadership. That legacy of integrity remains a defining foundation of who we are today.

In October 2020, Stephen Appenfelder acquired the agency with a renewed vision — to expand beyond traditional insurance into a holistic business services model designed to strengthen both companies and families. Under his leadership, the agency has grown to provide comprehensive commercial insurance, risk management, payroll, HR support, employee benefits, and personal insurance solutions.

While our name has changed to Anchor Partners Group, our commitment to service has only deepened. We believe business can and should be a vehicle for serving our community as commanded by our Lord and Savior. That belief shapes how we treat clients, how we build partnerships, and how we measure success. Our focus is not maximizing profit — it is maximizing impact.

We are here to:

  • Protect what matters
  • Advocate when it counts
  • Build lasting relationships
  • Strengthen the communities we serve

When challenges arise — claims, growth transitions, regulatory changes, economic shifts — we stand beside our clients with clarity and conviction. Not as policy sellers. But as partners. Anchored in faith. Grounded in integrity. Committed to you. We’re not just offering policies—we’re offering peace. We’re not just writing business—we’re building trust. We’re not just another agency—we’re your Anchor.

What Makes Anchor Different

While our foundation is faith and integrity, our execution is strategic and disciplined.

We serve business owners, executives, and families who need more than policies — they need risk clarity, financial protection, operational stability, and proactive advisory support.

Our firm integrates:

  • Commercial risk strategy
  • Payroll & HR alignment
  • Employee benefits consulting
  • Industry-specific risk expertise
  • Claims advocacy and loss guidance

We do not compete on price alone.

Our Mission

At Anchor Partners Group, our mission is to be a steadfast partner for businesses, families, and individuals — offering protection, guidance, and stability through faith-driven service and uncompromising integrity. Inspired by Hebrews 6:19 — “We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure” — we believe our company is a vehicle to serve our community as commanded by our Lord and Savior. That belief shapes how we operate, how we advise, and how we measure success. We are not driven by maximizing profit or pushing products. We are driven by doing what is right.

As an independent firm, our loyalty is not to insurance carriers — it is to the clients we serve. We build strong relationships with our carrier partners so we can advocate effectively, negotiate strategically, and deliver solutions that truly meet the needs of our clients when it matters most. Our work extends beyond traditional insurance. Through commercial insurance, risk management, payroll, HR, group benefits, voluntary benefits, and personal protection solutions, we take a holistic approach designed to strengthen businesses and families alike.

We believe:

Integrity is non-negotiable

Trust is earned through action

Relationships matter more than transactions

Strong businesses strengthen communities

When storms come — economic uncertainty, unexpected losses, rapid growth challenges — our role is simple:

To hold fast.

To advocate clearly.

To serve faithfully.

Choose Anchor Partners Group and experience the difference of working with a firm that is anchored in faith, grounded in integrity, and committed first to you.

Adkisson Insurance Agency BBB Business Review
Professionally Recognized

Anchor Partners Group isn’t just making a name for ourselves in our community, we’re also making a name for ourselves in the insurance industry. At the beginning of 2022, we became a Liberty Mutual Elite Agent, making us one of only five agencies in the region to have earned this distinction. On top of that, our owner, Stephen Appenfelder, was nominated as the Alignable 2022 Florence Business Person of the Year.

We Exist to Protect What Matters Most.

Anchor Partners Group is an independent insurance and business services firm with one clear priority — serving the people and businesses who place their trust in us. From individuals and families to entrepreneurs and established companies, we provide comprehensive protection and strategic guidance tailored to real-world risks. Insurance is never one-size-fits-all. That’s why we work with carefully selected, financially strong carriers — not to chase volume, but to create meaningful options that align with your specific needs. Our independence allows us to advocate for you — not for a carrier, not for a quota, and not for short-term gain.

Our mission is simple: Protect wisely. Advise honestly. Serve faithfully.
