Controlling Voting Interest Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] ●Controlling Voting Interest Risk: In accordance with the GuideStone Funds Trust Instrument, GuideStone will, at all times, directly or indirectly own, control or hold with power to vote at least 60% of the outstanding shares of GuideStone Funds. This means that GuideStone will control the vote on any matter that requires the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of GuideStone Funds.
Currency Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] ●Currency Risk: Changes in currency exchange rates could adversely impact investment gains or add to investment losses. Currency exchange rates can be affected unpredictably by intervention, or failure to intervene, by U.S. or foreign governments or central banks or by currency controls or political developments in the United States or abroad.
Dividend Paying Securities Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] ●Dividend Paying Securities Risk: There is no guarantee that the companies in which the Fund invests will declare dividends in the future or that dividends, if declared, will remain at current levels or increase over time.
Emerging Markets Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] ●Emerging Markets Risk: When investing in emerging markets, the risks of investing in foreign securities is heightened. Emerging markets are generally smaller, less developed, less liquid and more volatile than the securities markets of the U.S. and other developed markets. There are also risks of: greater political or economic uncertainties; an economy’s dependence on revenues from particular commodities or on international aid or development assistance; currency transfer restrictions; a limited number of potential buyers for such securities resulting in increased volatility and limited liquidity for emerging market securities; trading suspensions; and delays and disruptions in securities settlement procedures. The governments of emerging market countries may also be more unstable and more likely to impose capital controls, nationalize a company or industry, place restrictions on foreign ownership and on withdrawing sale proceeds of securities from the country, intervene in the financial markets and/or impose burdensome taxes that could adversely affect security prices. In addition, there may be less publicly available information about issuers in emerging markets than would be available about issuers in more developed capital markets, and such issuers may not be subject to accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and requirements comparable to those to which U.S. companies are subject. Emerging markets are financial markets in countries with developing economies, where industrialization has commenced and the economy has linkages with the global economy. Generally, emerging markets are located in Latin America, Eastern Europe, and Asia (excluding Japan).
Equity Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] ●Equity Risk: Stocks and other equity securities generally fluctuate in value more than fixed income securities and may decline significantly over short time periods. There is a chance that stock prices overall will decline because stock markets tend to move in cycles with periods of rising and falling prices. The market value of a stock may fall due to changes in a company’s financial condition as well as general market, economic and political conditions and other factors.
Faith-Based Investing Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] ●Faith-Based Investing Risk: The Fund invests in accordance with the faith-based investment restrictions of GuideStone. The Fund may not be able to take advantage of certain investment opportunities due to these restrictions, which may adversely affect investment performance. In evaluating an investment, the Adviser or Sub-Adviser is dependent upon information and data that may be incomplete, inaccurate or unavailable, which could adversely affect the analysis of the factors relevant to a particular investment.
Foreign Securities Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] ●Foreign Securities Risk: Obligations or securities of foreign issuers may be negatively affected by political events, economic conditions or inefficient, illiquid or unregulated markets in foreign countries. Foreign issuers may be subject to inadequate regulatory or accounting standards, which may increase investment risk. Security values also may be negatively affected by changes in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies. It may take more time to clear and settle trades involving foreign securities. In addition, securities issued by U.S. entities with substantial foreign operations or holdings can involve risks relating to conditions in foreign countries.
High Portfolio Turnover Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] ●High Portfolio Turnover Risk: The Fund may engage in active and frequent trading and expects to have a high portfolio turnover rate. High turnover could produce higher transaction costs and taxable distributions and lower the Fund’s after-tax performance.
Large Shareholder Transactions Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] ●Large Shareholder Transactions Risk: The Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders, including institutional accounts managed by the Adviser’s affiliates, as well as other series of GuideStone Funds (i.e., funds) that invest in the Fund, purchase or redeem large amounts of Fund shares. Such large shareholder redemptions may cause the Fund to sell portfolio securities at times when it would not otherwise do so, which may negatively impact the Fund’s net asset value and liquidity. Similarly, large Fund share purchases may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would. These transactions also will increase the distribution of taxable income to shareholders if sales of portfolio investments result in gains, and may also increase transaction costs. In addition, a large redemption could result in the Fund’s current expenses being allocated over a smaller asset base, leading to an increase in the Fund’s expense ratio.
Market Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] ●Market Risk: The Fund’s value will go up and down in response to changes in the market value of its investments, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. Market value will change due to business developments concerning a particular issuer or industry, as well as general market and economic conditions. Changes in the financial condition of a single issuer can impact the market as a whole. Geopolitical risks, including terrorism, tensions, trade disputes or open conflict between nations, or political or economic dysfunction within some nations that are major players on the world stage or major producers of oil, may lead to instability in world economies and markets, may lead to increased market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects. Additionally, the imposition of tariffs or trade restrictions can disrupt global supply chains, increase costs for certain industries, and contribute to heightened market volatility, which may adversely affect the Fund's investments. Local, regional or global events such as the spread of infectious illnesses or other public health issues, recessions, natural disasters or other events could have a significant impact on the Fund and its investments. In addition, markets and market participants are increasingly reliant upon information data systems. Data imprecision, software or other technology malfunctions, programming inaccuracies, unauthorized use or access and similar circumstances may have an adverse impact upon a single issuer, a group of issuers or the market at-large. Additionally, legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may affect the investments or investment strategies available to the Adviser in connection with managing the Fund, which may also adversely affect the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective.
Multiple Sub-Adviser Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] ●Multiple Sub-Adviser Risk: Fund performance is dependent upon the success of the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers in implementing the Fund’s investment strategies in pursuit of the Fund’s investment objective. To a significant extent, the Fund’s performance will depend on the success of the Adviser’s methodology in allocating the Fund’s assets to Sub-Advisers and its selection and oversight of the Sub-Advisers. The Sub-Advisers’ investment styles may not work together as planned, which could adversely affect the performance of the Fund. In addition, because each Sub-Adviser makes its trading decisions independently, it is possible that the Sub-Advisers may purchase or sell the same security at the same time without aggregating their transactions or hold long and short positions in the same security at the same time. This may cause unnecessary brokerage and other expenses. A Sub-Adviser’s strategy may be out of favor at any time.
Preferred Stock Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] ●Preferred Stock Risk: Some of the REITs and other real estate related company securities in which the Fund invests may be preferred stock that receives preference in the payment of dividends. Convertible preferred stock is exchangeable for common stock and may therefore be more volatile.
Real Estate Concentration Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] ●Real Estate Concentration Risk: The Fund concentrates its assets in the real estate industry, so an investment in the Fund will be closely linked to the performance of the real estate markets. Property values may decrease due to increasing vacancies or declining rents resulting from unanticipated economic, legal, cultural or technological developments or because of overbuilding or lack of mortgage funds. The value of an individual property may also decline because of environmental liabilities or losses due to casualty or condemnation. Because of this concentration in the real estate industry, the value of the Fund’s shares may change at different rates compared to the value of shares of a mutual fund with investments in a mix of different industries.
Real Estate Investment Trust Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] ●Real Estate Investment Trust Risk: The Fund is subject to the risk that REITs’ and other real estate-related companies’ share prices overall will decline over short or even long periods because of rising interest rates. During periods of high interest rates, REITs and other real estate related companies may lose appeal for investors who may be able to obtain higher yields from other income-producing investments. High interest rates may also mean that financing from property purchases and improvements is more costly and difficult to obtain. In addition, equity REITs may be affected by changes in the value of the underlying properties they own, while mortgage REITs may be affected by the quality of any credit they extend. Equity and mortgage REITs are dependent upon management skills and are subject to heavy cash flow dependency, defaults by borrowers and self-liquidation. Domestic REITs could be adversely affected by failure to qualify for tax-free “pass-through” of net income and net realized gains under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or to maintain their exemption from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Foreign REITs could possibly fail to qualify for any beneficial tax treatments available in their local jurisdictions. Failure to meet these requirements may have adverse consequences on a Fund. For example, Japanese REITs (J-REITs) are subject to complex tax regulation in Japan and a failure to comply with those requirements could disqualify the J-REIT from special tax benefits and reduce the amount available for distribution to J-REIT investors.
Real Estate Sector Concentration Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] ●Real Estate Sector Concentration Risk: The Fund may at times be more concentrated in particular sub-sectors of the real estate industry, such as apartments, retail, hotels, offices, industrial, health care and others. As such, its performance would be especially sensitive to developments that significantly affect those businesses.
Small Capitalization Companies Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] ●Small Capitalization Companies Risk: An investment in a smaller company may be more volatile and less liquid than an investment in a larger company. Small companies generally are more sensitive to adverse business and economic conditions than larger, more established companies. Small companies may have limited financial resources, management experience, markets and product diversification.
Risk Lose Money [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] It is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.
Risk Not Insured Depository Institution [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.
