We understand your ministry. We share your passion for the Gospel. GuideStone® supports your calling — both today and in the future.
As a church planter, you often work with limited resources. But GuideStone stands beside you to deliver faith-based solutions — from retirement plans, health plans for individuals and group health plans for as few as two full-time staff members, and property and casualty coverage tailored to the unique needs of churches.
With over a century of experience serving faith-based organizations, GuideStone is the choice of more than 20,000 churches and ministries for our retirement solutions. Many of our team members have experience in ministry and have developed the resources below to help you consider every variable as you move forward.
GuideStone believes when the body of Christ is healthy, it’s free to transform the world. This is why we offer a variety of health plans designed specifically for church employees. Our health, life and disability plans serve more than 11,000 churches. Whether you are a new plant team of one or more, our team will work with you to select the right medical, dental and life coverage you need to care for your staff. Considering what a benefits package can look like within your church’s budget can be challenging. Check out these resources to help you get started.
