Transforming the World Through Christian Investing

You are the light of the world. A city situated on a hill cannot be hidden...let your light shine before others,
so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.
Matthew 5:14,16 (CSB)

Letting our light shine means stewarding our resources in a way that honors him.

While we know this broken world will only be fully transformed when Christ brings his Kingdom to earth, GuideStone believes Christians are called to be a light in a darkened world. One of the ways we can do this is by investing in what he cares about: protecting life, guarding society’s most vulnerable and caring for his creation. 

GuideStone Funds® strives to provide competitive returns while honoring the Lord.

GuideStone's Investing Strategy:
Exclusionary Screening*

Avoid investing in companies that produce products or provide services that inhibit the flourishing of the image of God.

Our robust investment process screens out companies that offer products or services that are incompatible with our Christian values, including but not limited to those involving abortion, sexual immorality, alcohol, tobacco or gambling.

Corporate Engagement

Influence business practices for outcomes that contribute to a transformed world.
GuideStone utilizes leading proxy advisory firms and dialogues with corporate leadership to steer companies toward more Christ-like practices that can benefit consumers, employees and the communities in which they operate.

Impact Investing

Further God's Kingdom in this world through direct investments.
Through GuideStone's Impact Equity Fund and Impact Bond Fund, we purposefully invest in organizations whose products, services and practices seek to protect the sanctity of life and promote human dignity and advancement, further the spread of the Gospel and enhance the stewardship of God's creation.

And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus,
