GuideStone Becomes Insurance Agency for Churches and Ministries

GuideStone Financial Services was founded in 1918 to provide retirement assistance to retiring Southern Baptist ministers and their families, partly with the help of a $1 million gift from John D. Rockefeller and his son. Today, after decades in financial advisor roles for churches, the Dallas-based organization announced it has fully embraced the independent insurance agency model in North Carolina. The move will give GuideStone Agency Services access to multiple carriers that provide coverage for Carolina churches and ministries, according to an article in the Biblical Recorder news site written by a GuideStone official. GuideStone Agency Services is not listed on the National Association of Insurance Commissioners’ license verification site for North Carolina. The organization has had a surplus lines agency license in Texas since 2019 and a general lines agency license since 2008. The Florida Department of Financial Services shows the agency has had a valid agency license since 2022. The GuideStone website indicates it is a wholly owned affiliate of GuideStone Financial Resources of the Southern Baptist Convention. The agency offers property, commercial auto and workers’ compensation coverage. Was this article valuable? Thank you! Please tell us what we can do to improve this article.
