What is the Employer Access Program® and how can I set it up for our retirement plans?

As a plan sponsor, you have access to GuideStone’s free, online portal called Employer Access Program® (EAP). The premier benefit of EAP is the ability to update and remit retirement contributions and insurance payments online. Other available features include the ability to enroll and terminate employees, manage employee contact information and run or schedule reports to help manage your workload.

 To begin utilizing EAP, please visit www.GuideStone.org/EAPRegister and enter the following information:

 •Your GuideStone Employer Number

•Your Last Bill Amount OR a secure registration code*

*You can obtain a security code by contacting a customer solutions specialist.

Once logged in to EAP, please take a few moments to familiarize yourself with GuideStone’s online payment options. Remitting contributions through EAP offers a free and secure way to ensure payments are promptly processed and credited to your employees’ accounts. By selecting the “Retirement Contributions” tab and then clicking on the “Bank Information” sub-menu, you may choose to submit payments automatically on a fixed-day schedule or utilize our On Request schedule, which allows you to make payments at your convenience. For additional information on setting up ACH payments in EAP click HERE.

Everyone involved in the day-to-day operation of a Church Retirement Plan should download a copy of the Plan Administration Manual available on EAP. 

To access this manual, you'll need to be logged into the Employer Access Portal. Once logged in, follow the steps below:

1. Click on the "Resources" tab.

2. Under "Plan Compliance" or "Compliance", select the Plan Administration manual.
