GuideStone was founded in 1918 and began its work as a relief organization, providing financial assistance to retired Southern Baptist ministers, workers, their widows and orphans. Today, GuideStone Financial Resources manages $7.6 billion in assets, providing a solid foundation to continue this Christian financial assistance legacy through its Mission:Dignity ministry. GuideStone provides this money to ensure that those who serve the Lord can retire with dignity and protection from financial disaster in the event of illness, injury, disability or death. This financial assistance is made possible by direct gifts from churches and individuals.

Established as a financial partner of the Southern Baptist Convention, GuideStone Financial Resources has been a leader for over nine decades in providing employee benefit plans to more than 36,000 evangelical churches, ministries, hospitals and educational institutions. Since 1918, GuideStone has worked to enhance the financial security of hundreds of thousands of ministers, employees and seminary students.
