How do I change my retirement contribution amount?

A Retirement Contribution Agreement is required to change your regular retirement plan contributions. This authorizes your employer to withhold a portion of your salary for contributions.

Most employers allow this agreement to be completed online through your MyGuideStone® account. To change your contributions, log in and follow the steps below:

  1.  Navigate to the Retirement and Investments tab.
  2.  Click Change Contributions under Contributions.
  3.  You can indicate your contribution change to be made either as a percentage per paycheck or as a monthly dollar amount*

*Note: Monthly dollar amounts may be withheld from your paycheck at a different frequency according to your employer's payroll procedures. Please verify with your employer for the actual withholding amount per paycheck. 

If you cannot complete the agreement online or your employer does not have a Retirement Contribution Agreement, you may download and complete a Retirement Contribution Agreement below.

Please print and complete the form then give the form to your employer.  Please DO NOT return to GuideStone. Your new contribution amount will begin after the effective date you provide on the form.
